HC Deb 12 December 1927 vol 211 cc1871-2W
Mr. LEE

asked the Minister of Health whether the services of the district valuer are at the disposal of local authorities in fixing the value and negotiating the price paid to owners for land required for water and sewage pipes?

Mr. CHAMBERLAIN

The advice of the Valuation Department as to the value of land is available only when State moneys are involved or where sanction by a Government Department is required. Assistance in negotiating the price is available only when State moneys are involved.
