HC Deb 04 July 1910 vol 18 cc1312-3
Lord ALEXANDER THYNNE

asked whether the Crown have since January, 1900, granted or renewed a number of leases within the county of London at increased rentals; and if he can state the total amount of such increase of annual rental, as well as the total amount of the fines or premiums received in respect of such Grants or renewals?

Mr. HOBHOUSE

The information desired will be found in the Schedules to the annual Reports of the Commissioners of Woods, etc., in which full particulars are given of leases granted, showing the old and new rents and the fines, if any, taken.

Viscount CASTLEREAGH

Can the right hon. Gentleman say what course the Treasury followed?

Mr. HOBHOUSE

If the Noble Lord will look at the Schedule to which I referred him he will see the whole facts set out.
