HC Deb 14 March 1901 vol 90 c1574
MR. TAYLOR (Lancashire, Radcliffe)

I beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury whether the Scilly Islands have been eased; and, if so, can he state the amount of the rental and the date of the termination of the lease.

MR. AUSTEN CHAMBERLAIN

It is understood that the Scilly Islands have been leased at various times and for varying periods, but the particulars are not known to the Treasury, as Treasury sanction is not required for the leases.
