MR. DUNDAS WHITETo ask the President of the Local Government Board with reference to the island of about five and three quarter acres at Strumble Head, Pembrokeshire, which 735 was purchased by the Trinity House as a site for a lighthouse, in June, 1907, for £400, if he will say what was taken as its annual value for rating at the time of that purchase, or, if it formed part of a larger subject, by what amount the annual value for rating of that larger subject was reduced in consequence of the severance of that purchased part.
(Answered by Mr. John Burns.) I am informed that the island at Strumble Head was not separately rated, its value for rating purposes being included in the assessment of the farm of which it formed part, and that no reduction has been made in the assessment of the farm in consequence of its severance therefrom.
