MR. DUNDAS WHITE (Dumbartonshire)To ask the Secretary for Scotland whether the Old Kilpatrick Parish Council has recently had to purchase land for a cemetery; and, if so, when was the purchase effected, what was the area of the land, what was the annual value of it as entered in the valuation roll, and what was the price which the parish council had to pay for it.
(Answered by Mr. Sinclair.) I am informed that the parish council resolved to make the purchase on 24th March. The area is 9½ acres. There is no entry in the valuation roll showing the value of this subject per acre, but it is believed to be about £2 5s. The price agreed upon was £460 per acre.
