HC Deb 12 December 1935 vol 307 cc1153-4W
Mr. DAVIDSON

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland whether he is aware that there are many acres of good farming soil in the North of Scotland now owned by foreigners for sporting purposes; and will he take action to have that land utilised for productive purposes?

Sir G. COLLINS

I have no information as to the extent to which land in the North of Scotland is owned by foreigners and used for sporting purposes. I have no power to regulate the nature of the legitimate use to which agricultural land may be put.
