HC Deb 08 March 1923 vol 161 cc747-8W
Lord COLUM CRICHTON-STUART

asked the Under-Secretary to the Scottish Board of Health whether, having regard to the policy being followed by the English Board of Agriculture, whereby the establishment of ex-service men upon the land is in effect actually being discontinued owing to the financial difficulties encountered by earlier smallholders, his Department will for the same reason adopt in Scotland a similar policy?

Captain ELLIOT:

It is not proposed to make in the meantime any change in the policy of land settlement in Scotland.
