§ Mr. E. BrownThe Land Settlement Association, Limited, has been carrying out an extensive experiment in land settlement with assistance from the Special Areas Fund. Families for this scheme have been recruited from the Special Areas in England and Wales. The association has also developed estates on similar lines out of funds provided by the county councils of Lancashire and Derbyshire, and one estate out of funds provided by the London Parochial Trust, the Carnegie United Kingdom Trust and the Development Commissioners.
Land settlement in Scotland is a matter for the Department of Agriculture for Scotland.
