§ Mr. Emrys Hughesasked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he is aware of the burden imposed on small farmers and especially milk producers by recent increases in rents; and if he will institute inquiries to ascertain to what extent farmers' rents in the South of Scotland have been raised in recent years.
§ Mr. RossFarm rents are fixed periodically by agreement between landlords and tenants, or failing such agreement, by arbitration. From the information before me I see no need for a special60W inquiry, but I shall be prepared to consider any further factual evidence which may be produced.
