§ 76. Mr. Deedesasked the Minister of Agriculture whether he has considered representations made to the Forestry Commission by the East Ashford Rural District Council to the effect that the Commission, in addition to paying the rates of foresters occupying rent-free houses direct to local authorities, should also pay direct the rates of foresters who 192W pay rent to the Commission and rates to their local authority, thereby enabling all foresters to discharge their rates in an inclusive rental instead of on a bi-annual demand note from the local authority.
§ Sir T. DugdaleI am aware of these representations, but no final decision has yet been taken on the matter.
