§ Mr. Geraint Howellsasked the Secretary of State for Wales if he can make an estimate of the acreage of land capable of reclamation on which homes can be built in Wales.
§ Mr. John MorrisNot at present. A survey of the total extent of industrial dereliction in Wales is nearing completion together with a land use census of the 6,619 acres reclaimed since 1967. Earlier this year local authorities were asked to consider what contribution land reclamation could make in increasing the availability of land suitable for residential development and there are indications that there is some potential.
