HC Deb 11 May 1948 vol 450 c181W
6. Mr. N. Macpherson

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland why licences for reconditioning cottages at Saughtrees and Langside farms in the parish of Wamphray have been refused although previously approved by the Dumfriesshire County Council.

Mr. Woodburn

These applications were for the provision of improved amenities which although desirable were not necessary for the running of the farms and were refused because of the high estimated expenditure.
