HC Deb 22 January 1975 vol 884 c346W
Mr. Sillars

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will list in the Official Report the inhabited islands of Scotland in which the major portion of land is held in the private ownership of one person or group; and if he will show the population of each island.

Mr. William Ross

The expense of preparing such a list would not be justified.

Mr. Sillars

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if Her Majesty's Government will introduce legislation to prevent any single private land-owning interest having a dominant social or economic position on any Scottish island.

Mr. William Ross

No.
