HC Deb 27 July 1938 vol 338 c3125W
Mr. Dalton

asked the Minister of Health whether he is aware that the Woking Council, Surrey, has been in negotiation for the purchase from Messrs. A. and J. Simmons, Limited, of three acres of ground at Old Woking, wanted for a school playing field; that the matter was referred back to the recreation grounds committee after an offer made by the owners; and, if the land has since been acquired, what price was paid and what was its previous rateable value?

Mr. Elliot

Yes, Sir. I understand that the Council have received a gift of land for a children's recreation ground and that the land referred to was not therefore acquired.
