§ Mr. Grimondasked the Secretary of State for Scotland what was the cost of the erection of 690 yards of croft head fence to Kirkabister, Bressay, Shetland in 1962; and what was the cost of the 62W Land Court hearing at Lerwick on 14 June and the subsequent appeal by the Crofters Commission to the Court of Session.
§ Mr. RossThe cost of the fence was assessed for grant at £157 3s. 6d. It is not practicable at this distance of time to cost the Land Court hearing and subsequent appeal, which settled an important principle of general application.
