HC Deb 18 December 1958 vol 597 c209W
52. Mr. Malcolm MacMillan

asked the Secretary of State for Air what amount of compensation, in addition to the bare figure related to agricultural considerations awarded by the Scottish Land Court, he is now offering to the South Uist and Benbecula crofters adversely affected by the rocket range project in the Western Isles.

Mr. Ward

Section 12 of the Crofters (Scotland) Act, 1955, under which the land needed for this range was resumed, requires adequate compensation to be made to the crofters at a figure determined by the Scottish Land Court. This has been done.
