HC Deb 26 July 1938 vol 338 cc2923-4W
Mr. Benn

asked the Minister of Health whether he is aware that the Wallingford Rural District Council has been petitioned to make into a recreation ground for children a site of about three-quarters of an acre in Mereland Road, Didcot, which the council had bought for purposes of building; when that land was purchased and at what price; and what revenue the council has been obtaining from it since?

Mr. Elliot

The land forms part of a site of about 1 acre purchased by the Council in March, 1933, for £500 for the erection of public conveniences. The land was let temporarily until March, 1938, at a rental of £2 a year.
