HC Deb 13 March 1934 vol 287 cc204-5W
Sir A. SINCLAIR

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland the numbers of new holdings and enlargements which were constituted during each of the years 1931, 1932, and 1933; and the estimated numbers for 1934?

Sir G. COLLINS

The numbers of new holdings and enlargements constituted by the Department of Agriculture for Scotland during each of the years 1931, 1932 and 1933 were respectively:

Year. New Holdings. Enlargements.
1931 146 58
1932 64 7
1933 134 17

It is not possible, at this date, to forecast with accuracy the numbers of holdings and enlargements which will be constituted during the present year.
