Mr. DUNDAS WHITEasked the President of the Local Government Board if he will say what is the present valuation for rating of the area of 7,020 square yards 1916 of land in the Rotton Park district, proposed to be purchased at 10s. per yard by the local education authority for Birmingham as a site for a school?
§ The PRESIDENT of the LOCAL GOVERNMENT BOARD (Mr. Burns)I understand that the rateable value of the land of which the proposed site forms part is £54 10s. I may add that in selling the area to the local education authority at 10s. per square yard the vendors have undertaken to make three adjacent roads to give access to the site. If the Corporation had undertaken to make these roads, the price per yard would have been proportionately reduced.
