Mr. Pardoe
asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will make a statement about the working of the Field Monuments Act 1972; and if he will give details of payments made through its acknowledgement payments scheme for each year of the Act's operation.
Mr. William Ross
The response in Scotland to the acknowledgement payments scheme has been disappointing and I am considering its future in consultation with my English and Welsh colleagues.The annual payments made so far in Scotland are:
| 1972 (September to December) | —5 payments |
| totalling £237 | |
| 1973 | —30 payments |
| totalling £691 | |
| 1974 | —77 payments |
| totalling £1,542 |
