HC Deb 07 May 1888 vol 325 cc1465-6
MR. T. E. ELLIS (Merionethshire)

asked the Secretary to the Treasury, Whether he will grant a Return of the produce of the Crown Land Revenue in Wales arising from fee farm rents, leasehold rents, quit rents from mines, quarries, &c., from manors, castles, and royalties, distinguishing the amount realized each year from royalties on gold mining, from each year from 1836 to 1888 (in part continuation of Parliamentary Paper, No. 468, of Session 1833)?

THE SECRETARY (Mr. JACKSON) Leeds, N.)

The hon. Member will find full particulars regarding the Land Revenue of the Crown in Wales in the Annual Reports of the Commissioners of Woods; but these figures do not show separately the receipts from gold royalties. The total amount of these royalties received in the years 1836 to 1888 is £4,657 17s.d.; and I shall be happy to show the hon. Member the figures for each separate year if desired.
