Mr. DUNDAS WHITEasked the Secretary for Scotland as regards the 5½ acres of land at Invergordon of which the Admiralty recently took a feu for oil storage purposes at an annual Feu Duty of £74 17s., if he can say what was being taken as the annual value for rating of these 5½ acres at the date of the feu, or, if they formed a portion of a larger property, by how much the valuation for rating of that larger property was reduced by reason of the severance of that portion?
Mr. McKINNON WOODI am informed that the land referred to by my hon. Friend formed part of a larger subject let for£5s. 9d. The annual valuation of that subject, by reason of the severance of the feu for oil storage purposes, has been reduced by £11 1s. 9d.
