HC Deb 17 June 1966 vol 729 c346W
Mr. James Davidson

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will seek to redefine hill land in terms of the Hill Farming Acts 1946–56, to take some account of altitude and latitude and to eliminate many of the anomalies which new exist.

Mr. Ross

No. The present definition of livestock rearing land takes account of these and other factors and I have no reason to think that it is unsatisfactory in its application.
