§ Sir Hector Monroasked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will publish the awards of arbiters appointed 475W by him to determine the rents of agricultural holdings under section 7 of the Agricultural Holdings (Scotland) Act 1949.
§ Mr. YoungerI have considered carefully the recommendation to this effect made by Agricultural Holdings (Scotland) Acts working party which reported in December 1981—a copy of which is in the Library of the House—and I have concluded that it would be right to make such awards publicly available. I propose to do this by depositing copies of the awards in the Scottish Record Office. My Department will issue every six months a list of the awards so deposited. These arrangements will begin with awards made in respect of arbitrations on rents to run from Martinmas this year.
