HC Deb 30 June 1938 vol 337 cc2142-3W
Mr. McGhee

asked the Minister of Health whether he is aware that in 1934 an appeal was made at Hebden Bridge for £6,000 to acquire 5,600 square yards of land in the town to be used as a public park; whether this land has since been acquired; and what was the price paid for it and its previous rateable value when last occupied?

Mr. Elliot

I am informed that £5,000 square yards of land was acquired for this purpose for £5,000, and conveyed to the Hebden Royd Urban District Council in November, 1936. The previous rateable value was slightly under £184.
