HC Deb 10 July 1939 vol 349 cc1824-5W
Mr. G. Macdonald

asked the Minister of Health what was the price of the 90 acres of land at Barnston acquired by the Wirral Urban District Council; for what purpose the land has been used; and what was its rateable value previous to acquisition?

Mr. Bernays

This purchase has not yet been completed but the price fixed is £11,252. The land has hitherto been used for agricultural purposes and is, therefore, derated.
