Mr Neil Maclean
, Glasgow Govan
asked the Secretary of State for Scotland whether, seeing that the Board of Agriculture for Scotland own parks and lands in the neighbourhood of Conon Lodge, which are now occupied by local tenants, he will say whether, since the sale of Conon Lodge, these tenants have been informed that their tenancies may not be renewed?
Secretary of State was originally the title given to the two officials who conducted the Royal Correspondence under Elizabeth I. Now it is the title held by some of the more important Government Ministers, for example the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs.
