HC Deb 18 July 1923 vol 166 c2295
34. Mr. HERRIOTTS

asked the Minister of Health if he will consider the exemption from rates of aged miners' homes in County Durham which have been erected and are maintained almost entirely by miners' contributions.

Mr. CHAMBERLAIN

There is no legal authority for the exemption of the houses referred to from rating, and I am afraid I could not undertake to introduce legislation for the purpose.
