HC Deb 05 July 1966 vol 731 cc61-2W
Mr. Grimond

asked 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 Land Court hearing at Lerwick on 14 June and the subsequent appeal by the Crofters Commission to the Court of Session.

Mr. Ross

The 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.
