§ MR. DILLWYNasked the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, Whether it is the practice to sell the property of the Duchy to all comers, for the highest price that can be obtained for it, without reference to its being required for public purposes?
§ MR. RYLANDSwished to know, before his right hon. Friend answered the Question, whether the money received on the sale of any property of the Duchy was handed over to the Crown in addition to the annual income arising from rents and other sources from year to year?
§ MR. DODSONSir, in sales of Duchy property it is the practice to endeavour to have due regard to all interests concerned, certainly not excluding public purposes. In answer to the Question of my hon. Friend the Member for Burnley I have to say that the money received on such sale is invested for the benefit of the Crown.
