HC Deb 24 February 1983 vol 37 c507W
Mr. Donald Stewart

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what plans he has for the holdings in Scotland belonging to the Department of Agriculture.

Mr. Younger

I announced on 1 April 1980 that tenants of leasehold and landhold units on the Secretary of State's land settlement estates could purchase them on advantageous terms. Crofting tenants already had a statutory right to purchase their crofts. The future of the properties remaining in my ownership is under consideration.
