PUBLIC ASSISTANCE COMMITTEE, LANCASHIRE.

HC Deb 27 July 1938 vol 338 cc3124-5W

Mr. Silverman

asked the Minister of Health what price has been agreed upon or paid for 10 acres of land adjoining the Fylde institution at Wesham and acquired by the Lancashire Public Assistance Committee; and what was the rateable value of this land previous to purchase?

Mr. Bernays

The price paid for the land referred to was £2,200. As it was agricultural land it had no rateable value before purchase by the local authority.
