§ Mr. ANDERSONasked the Secretary for Scotland whether he is aware that the Wick Town Council are charging plot-holders at the rate of £5 per acre for the ground of a public park granted as a free gift to the town; and, since these rentals are hampering food production, what action he proposes to take?
§ Mr. MUNROMy hon. Friend has been misinformed. The rent charged to holders of allotments in the park referred to is at the rate of 30s. per acre and not £5. The latter part of the question does not, therefore, arise. I may add that I am informed that the rent charged is just sufficient to cover local and Imperial burdens on the park and expenses of upkeep.
