HC Deb 29 March 1911 vol 23 cc1485-6W
Mr. WEIR

asked the Lord Advocate, having regard to the fact that, owing to the delay in securing land legislation for the Highlands, the people are rapidly emigrating to other lands, if the Secretary for Scotland will introduce in the House of Lords a short amendment of the Congested Districts (Scotland) Act, such as will admit of the speedy acquisition of land in the congested area, for the pur- pose of creating new holdings, and for the extension of existing holdings?

Mr. URE

I am unable to add anything to the answer which I gave to my hon. Friend on the 21st of this month.
