HC Deb 07 April 1964 vol 692 c194W
Mr. A. Lewis

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government and Minister for Welsh Affairs what information he has concerning the amount of land acquired by local authorities and by stated authorities; in what years such acquisitions took place; for what purposes the land was acquired; and what were the actual moneys paid and the average price per acre of land for each stated transaction.

Mr. Corfield

Such information as is available is insufficiently comprehensive to be of any value for the purpose suggested.

Mr. A. Lewis

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government and Minister for Welsh Affairs what was the amount of land taken over by the county borough of West Ham for housing, schools and other public purposes in the year 1951–52, and in each subsequent year to date; what were the total costs involved for each of these years; and what was the average price paid per acre of land for each year, respectively.

Sir K. Joseph

I regret I do not have the information asked for.
