§ 58. Mr. LEESasked the Minister of Health the amount of relief accorded to farmers in the county of Suffolk under the Local Government Act, 1929, for the complete financial year since the application of the Act.
§ Mr. GREENWOODIt is not practicable for me to state how much of the total grant paid under the Local Government Act, 1929, goes as relief to the occupiers of agricultural hereditaments. It may be estimated, however, that but for the de-rating of agricultural land the amount of rates which would have been paid in respect of those hereditaments during the year to 31st March, 1930, would have been about £48,000 in the Administrative County of East Suffolk, and about £37,000 in the Administrative County of West Suffolk.
