asked the Secretary for Scotland on how many county agricultural committees in Scotland there are factors for landowners; and on how many of these there are tenants of land on the same estates as those for which the factors act?

County agricultural committees in Scotland are widely representative of the various classes concerned in agriculture, including, of course, the factors who act for large estates; but I am not in a position to give the detailed information desired by my hon. and learned Friend.

Is the right hon. Gentleman aware that the larger landowners are over-represented on all these agricultural committees?

No, Sir. If my hon. Friend will give me particulars, I will be very glad to look into them.
