§ Mr. E. Rowlandsasked the Minister of Housing and Local Government whether he will introduce amendments to the Land Commission Act in order that the Land Commission may play a greater rôle in recovering and preparing derelict land for industrial purposes.
§ Mr. MacDermotThe Commission's powers are adequate for this purpose. They are prepared to acquire derelict land on behalf of local authorities, but the work of reclamation is best carried out by the local authorities, who are eligible for grant.
