HC Deb 08 February 1938 vol 331 cc856-7W
Mr. W. Joseph Stewart

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Board of Education what percentage of children attending elementary schools under the Durham County Council were found, at the annual routine nutrition inspections in the years 1932 to 1937, to be normal, sub-normal, or bad, respectively?

Mr. Lindsay

Following is the answer:

if compulsory powers have been granted; what price is being paid; and what has been the rateable value of the land for local taxation?

Mr. Lindsay

After consideration of the report of the public inquiry, the Board confirmed an Order for Compulsory Purchase of the site in question. I understand that the price to be paid for this site, which measures about 4⅓ acres, is not yet settled. The site has not been assessed for rating purposes as it is agricultural land.
