37. Mr. H. EDWARDSasked the President of the Local Government Board if he will state when he hopes to announce the name of the independent valuer whom he has nominated in connection with the widening of Duke Street, Cardiff; and whether, in view of the violation of the promise given to the representative ratepayers' association that they should be heard by the Duke Street Improvement Committee before that committee put forward any scheme to the city council of Cardiff, he has ensured that, at the promised independent inquiry by the valuer nominated by the Local Government Board, the Cardiff Ratepayers' Association will be given an opportunity to formulate their objections?
§ Mr. HAYES FISHERIf the hon. Member will refer to the reply given to his question of the 12th instant, he will see that he is under a misapprehension as to the position. At that date my right hon. Friend had already received the report of the valuer nominated by him, who was satisfied that the scheme is a fair and equitable bargain. No other independent inquiry has been promised, and at the present time none is contemplated. The name of the valuer is Mr. John Murray.
