HC Deb 27 June 1938 vol 337 c1554W
Mr. Stokes

asked the Minister of Health what was the result of the inquiry held at Norwich on 24th May, 1934, when the council was seeking compulsory powers to purchase land for allotments which was then being leased to the corporation for £28 a year and for which the owner was claiming £1,785 as purchase price?

Mr. W. S. Morrison

I have been asked to reply. The inquiry was held by an officer of my Department, but an agreed settlement was subsequently reached between the parties and the application for confirmation of the Compulsory Purchase Order was accordingly withdrawn. I understand that the purchase price agreed upon was £1,500.
