§ 76. Mr. George Thomasasked the Secretary of State for Wales what estimate he has made of the total area of derelict land in Wales that will be cleared by the end of 1971 and whether he will make a statement.
§ Mr. Peter ThomasI estimate that about 1,750 acres of derelict land will be cleared by the end of this year and that work on a further 1,000 acres will be completed or largely completed by the end of 1971. I hope to maintain this encouraging rate of progress thereafter.
