HC Deb 05 July 1928 vol 219 cc1590-1W
Mr. MACLEAN

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if there has been at any time since May, 1912, when Neil Macdonald and Ewan MacLellan, who were sentenced to four months imprisonment at Lochmaddy on 14th June, 1928, for occupying land, applied for smallholdings, land which could have been offered to these men?

The LORD ADVOCATE

Land settlement schemes have been promoted in Harris since 1912, but, in allocating the available holdings, the claims of other applicants were considered stronger than those of the two men mentioned in the question.
