HC Deb 24 November 1947 vol 444 c237W
17. Sir G. Fox

asked the Minister of Works why his Department refuses to pay the garden rate, Eaton Square, whereas the L.C.C. makes a contribution in respect of this rate.

Mr. Key

In accordance with a decision given on 29th October, 1942, by the General Claims Tribunal in the case of Robert Main and His Majesty's Secretary of State for War, Government Departments are not liable to pay garden rate in respect of requisitioned property.
