§ Mr. Skeetasked the Secretary of State for Scotland what is the total cost to his several Departments of the management of land subject to croft tenure within Scotland.
§ Mr. YoungerI do not find it useful to distinguish between croft land and other property and interests in the management of land in my ownership. On a rough estimate, however, the net cost of managing the croft land administered by the Department of Agriculture and Fisheries for Scotland and the Forestry Commission would be of the order of £100,000 per annum.
