HC Deb 12 July 1934 vol 292 cc539-40W
Mr. LEONARD

asked the Minister of Agriculture what period elapsed between the outgoing of the tenant of the farm of Spittalhill, Fintry, and the incoming of the present tenant, and the difference between the total sum paid to the outgoing tenant as acclimatisation value and the sum received from the incoming tenant?

Mr. ELLIOT

The late tenancy of the Spittalhill Farm, Fintry, ceased as to arable land at Martinmas, 1933, and as to buildings and grass land at Whitsunday, 1934, and the new tenant took over from the same dates. The difference between the total sum paid to the outgoing tenant for the acclimatisation value of the regular sheep stock on the holding and the sum recovered from the incoming tenant was approximately £2,560.
