HC Deb 10 March 1925 vol 181 cc1159-60W
Mr. J. GUEST

asked the Secretary for Mines to whom the royalty rents for minerals underlying the public highways and common lands in Yorkshire are payable; and what is their estimated value?

Colonel LANE-FOX

The royalty rents for minerals underlying highways and common lands in Yorkshire are, of course, payable to the various persons to whom those minerals belong. But I have no means of giving the hon. Member a list of the people who own minerals in Yorkshire that may be thus situated, or of estimating the value of the rental from them.
