§ Mr. RHYS DAVIESasked the Minister of Health whether he is aware of the complaints of ratepaying hotel and boarding house keepers, especially at 519W small seaside resorts, that farmers in the same neighbourhood who are completely derated are making large profits by taking in boarders on a considerable scale in competition with them; and will he look into this anomaly with a view to its removal?
§ Sir K. WOODI have received a few representations on this subject. The matter is not one in which I have any jurisdiction which would enable me to intervene, but I may point out that farmhouses are not exempt from rating.
