HC Deb 24 September 1931 vol 256 cc1812-3
43. Mr. PERRY

asked the Minister of Health the estimated annual relief to owners of agricultural land and others in the county of Northamptonshire by the de-rating of agricultural land and buildings under the Local Government Act, 1929?

Mr. CHAMBERLAIN

It is estimated that, but for the de-rating of agricultural hereditaments, the amount of rates paid in respect of those hereditaments during the year to the 31st March, 1930, in the Administrative County of Northampton, would have been about £79,000. This relief was, of course, afforded to the occupiers of these hereditaments.
