HC Deb 07 April 1970 vol 799 cc63-4W
Mr. Buchanan-Smith

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland how much land in Scotland is currently owned by the Forestry Commission, by educational or research institutions, by the National Trust, by the Nature Conservancy, by the Electricity Boards, by the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food, and by other public bodies not included above; and if he will give the total acreage for each category.

Mr. Ross

I regret that some of this information is not readily available and could not be obtained without disproportionate effort. The information which I have is as follows:

Acreage
Forestry Commission 1,756,200
Department of Agriculture and Fisheries for Scotland 444,476
National Trust for Scotland 84,000
Nature Conservancy 48,900
Scottish Agricultural Colleges and Agricultural Research Institutes 2,907
