Mr. Dalyell

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland how much public money has been spent on matters related to the Glenforsa estate.

Mr. Gordon Campbell

Glenforsa estate was acquired in October 1951 at a cost, inclusive of stock, etc., of £39,550. Subsequent capital and maintenance works amounted to £50,000.

Against this, sales of land and buildings yielded £9,800 and there have been miscellaneous receipts of £5,700. In the period from October 1951 to 31st March 1973 there was a cash surplus on farming operations of some £20,000.

These figures do not take account of administrative costs.
