§ Mr. Wattasked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will make available to the crofting townships of the west coast and the islands, bulls of the following breeds with high growth potential: Simmental, Maine Anjou and Charollais etc.
§ Mr. William RossNo applications have been received from any crofting townships for bulls of these breeds. In considering the suitability of particular breeds for conditions in the Highlands and Islands, account must be taken of a number of factors, of which high growth potential is only one.
