§ Mr. Hannanasked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he is aware of the increasing traffic in sales of feu duties as between landowners, builders and speculators, and that such changes in ownership result in increased feu duties and unfair treatment as between owner-occupiers, even where the houses are exactly the same type and adjacent to one another; and if he will take steps to abolish the anachronism of feu duties.
§ Mr. RossI assume that my hon. Friend has in mind the creation of feu duties in connection with new houses for owner occupation, and I would refer him to the replies which I gave to the hon. Member for Glasgow, Central (Mr. McInnes) on 19th May and the hon. Member for Dunbartonshire, East (Mr. Bence) on 26th May.
