asked the Secretary of State for Scotland how many fishings have been sold to private interests by the North of Scotland Hydro-Electric Board in the first four months of 1972; if he will list each sale with the price obtained by the board in each case; and if he will publish the details of similar transactions carried out in the years 1965 to 1971 inclusive.

Mr. Gordon Campbell

I have asked the Chairman of the North of Scotland Hydro-Electric Board to write to the hon. Member about this matter.

Mr. Sillars

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland how many houses originally built by the North of Scotland Hydro-Electric Board for staff employed in the more remote parts of the Highlands have been disposed of by sale to private individuals in each of the past five years; and what was the average price obtained.

For the five years from 1967–68 to 1971–72 the sales of houses provided by the Board for its staff numbered five, five, one, nought and five respectively, at an average price of £2,500.
