§ 52. Mr. Peter Freemanasked the Minister of Housing and Local Government the estimated value of agricultural land exempted entirely from rates in 1929; what is its present estimated value; and what would be the amount of rates if levied on such land at the present average rateable value.
§ Mr. SandysThe rateable value of agricultural land and buildings exempted entirely from rates was about £7½ million in 1929. They have not been revalued since. I am, therefore, unable to answer the second and third parts of the Question.
