LAND PURCHASE, COVENTRY (PLAYING FIELDS).

HC Deb 01 December 1937 vol 329 cc2087-8W

Mr. Noel-Baker

asked the Minister of Health whether he has given approval to the loan proposed to be raised by the Coventry Corporation for the purchase of land adjoining Barrs Hill Girls' Secondary School, at the rear of Trinity Terrace, for the purpose of playing fields; and whether he will state the price, the area, and the previous rateable value of this land?

Sir K. Wood

Yes, Sir. The price paid for the land was £,300, and the area 2.85 acres. The land was agricultural and therefore derated.
