§ Mr. Malcolm MacMillanasked the Secretary of State for Scotland whether he is aware that the Department of Agriculture's tenants at Luskentyre, Isle of Harris, are unable to make reasonable use of their land owing to the lack of about half a mile of road to the seaweed manure supplies; that some of the holders this year were unable to plant crops as a result; and what early assistance he proposes to afford them?
§ Mr. ColvilleI am aware that seaweed for manure is required on the sandy soil at Luskentyre and that the holders are somewhat handicapped by the distance of the gathering ground from their holdings. The Department of Agriculture for Scotland recently decided to give assistance towards the provision of a track and one of their officers is now making the necessary local arrangements.
