Mr. Davidsonasked the right hon. and gallant Member for Rye, as representing the Forestry Commissioners, what portion as to the area and situation and elevation above sea-level of the Tarlogie and Camscurrie estates in Tain have been acquired by the Forestry Commission; what prices were paid for the land; and what was the rate able value of the properties previous to acquisition?
§ Sir G. CourthopeSome 1,127 acres situated two miles west of Tain between 120 and 940 feet above sea-level are being acquired by the Forestry Commission. It would be contrary to public interest to disclose the price of any individual acquisition. The rateable value of the area being acquired has not yet been apportioned.
