HC Deb 23 June 1938 vol 337 c1260
57. Mr. Lansbury

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Board of Education what was the price awarded at arbitration for the five acres compulsorily acquired by the Berkshire County Council for the purpose of an elementary school, the arbitration having been held in Oxford in January, 1937, and the owner of the site having claimed a price of £600 per acre?

Mr. Lindsay

It is assumed that this question relates to the site of just under five acres of the Botley Council School, which was compulsorily acquired by the Berkshire local education authority for £2,250. The Board are not aware of the price claimed by the owner at the arbitration proceedings.
