HC Deb 01 May 1972 vol 836 cc5-6W
Mr. Hooson

asked the Secretary of State for Wales how many applications he has received from local authorities in Wales for the cost of reclamation under Operation Eyesore of derelict mine buildings and workings following lead mining; how many such applications have been granted; and if he will denote the local authority in each case.

Mr. Peter Thomas:

None. Applications relating to derelict mine workings may be made under normal derelict land provision; and two relating to old lead works have recently been received from Wrexham Rural District Council and Flint Borough Council.

Mr. Hooson

asked the Secretary of State for Wales how many applications have been made by local authorities in the Mid Wales area for clearing up dereliction under Operation Eyesore.

Mr. Gibson-Watt:

29 applications from seven local authorities in Mid Wales.
