§ Mr. McENTEEasked the Minister of Agriculture what is the annual revenue from ground rents on the Crown lands in Regent Street; and whether it is proposed to make a temporary or permanent reduction in the rents; and the reason therefor?
§ Major ELLIOT:The annual revenue from ground rents in Regent Street is approximately £520,000. The Commissioners of Crown Lands and the Treasury have carefully considered applications from the lessees for reductions of rent, but on the facts so far submitted to them no concession can be justified.
