§ 47. Mr. Stokesasked the Minister of Health what was the result of the arbitration to decide the price payable by the Margate Corporation for the site of 150 feet by 18 feet fronting the Parade and Canute Road, the owner having claimed £1,500; and what was the previous rateable value of this land?
§ Mr. ElliotThe price determined by the official arbitrator for the site (which measures 150 feet by 118 feet) was £1,112; the previous rateable value was £22.
§ 57. Mr. Ridleyasked the Minister of Health whether he is aware that the parish council of Kidlington, Oxfordshire, was in negotiation for land adjacent to the churchyard, for burial purposes, with the owner, Count A. Samoyski, but had to abandon the project in view of the price wanted, namely, £500, for altogether one acre, plus £30 for redemption of a tithe rent and the obligation to build a stone wall; whether he has approved the purchase of two acres from the same or another owner in Langford Lane, and, if so, at what price; and whether he will state the rateable value when last occupied of each piece of land in question?
§ Mr. ElliotI understand that negotiations are still proceeding for the acquisition by the council from this owner of land adjoining the churchyard. No approval of the purchase of land in Langford Lane has been given.
