HC Deb 11 May 1938 vol 335 c1592W
Mr. T. Smith

asked the Minister of Health what was the area of the glebe estate bought, in November last, by the Kettering Urban District Council; what was the price; what was the previous rateable value; who were the vendors; and for what purpose the land is wanted?

Mr. Bernays:

The area of the land is approximately 43 acres; the price paid was £10,500; at the date of purchase the land was agricultural land and therefore derated under the Local Government Act, 1929; the vendor was the Rector of Kettering; the land is required for housing of the working classes and permanent allotments.
