HC Deb 05 July 1916 vol 83 c1544W
Major CHAPPLE

asked the Secretary for Scotland whether he can give the number of small holders settled on the land in Scotland and the number of acres made available for them under the Small Landholders (Scotland) Act, 1911?

Mr. McKINNON WOOD

The information asked for in the first part of the question will be found in classified form in the forthcoming Report of the Board of Agriculture for Scotland, which I hope will be circulated in a few days. I regret that I cannot at present agree to press the Board for the further statistics asked for in the second part of the question, as their staff is depleted owing to a considerable number being on military service.
