Under 3 per cent. of my total holdings are currently unlet. Most of these are in process of being relet or are held for enlargement, development or afforestation. A few are poor subjects for which there is at present no demand. Where-ever possible temporary uses, e.g. grazings lets, are found for unlet holdings.
