§ Mr. SNOWDENasked the Prime Minister if his attention has been called to the fact that at Blackburn, which has a population of 133,000, land adjoining the cemetery was recently sold by public auction at the rate of £56 an acre, and at Malton, which has a population of about 5,000, the burial board has had to pay at the rate of £234 an acre for land for extension of the cemetery; and will he introduce legislation to make the valuation of land under the Finance Act the basis of the price to be paid for land required for public purposes?
§ The PRIME MINISTERMy attention has been called to cases of the kind to which the hon. Member refers, but I am afraid that I cannot, at the moment, give any promise of legislation.
