§ Mr. Dobbieasked the Minister of Health whether he is aware that the Longfield Parish Council abandoned a proposal to acquire, for a recreation ground, five acres 16 poles of land at Longfield Hill at a price of £875 plus necessary costs; whether the smaller site has yet been secured on the hill and, if so, at what price; and if he can give any information as to the price paid or agreed upon for eight acres in the centre of the parish which the council are committed to buy, through having it town-planned, for allotments?
§ Mr. ElliotI understand that the parish council have abandoned a proposal to acquire the land at Longfield Hill and are endeavouring to find a smaller site. As regards the land for allotments no agreement has been reached with the owner for the purchase.
