§ 110. Mr. M. MacPhersonasked the Secretary of State for Scotland whether, in view of the slow progress of land settlement, he will make a statement about land settlement policy in those parts of Scotland not included in the terms of reference of the Taylor Commission.
§ Mr. T. Fraser:Current restrictions on capital investment limit the extent to which more land can be acquired or equipped at present for land settlement purposes, but as circumstances permit, it is the intention of the Government to proceed with the erection of new holdings throughout Scotland. At the present time, one new scheme for seven holdings is being constituted in the Lowlands area and one for five holdings in the Highlands.
