HC Deb 03 February 1977 vol 925 c310W
Mr. Cormack

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what is the current value of the Land Fund; and whether he is satisfied that its resources are being used in the way intended when it was established in 1946.

Mr. Joel Barnett

The market value of the securities held by the National Land Fund on 31st March 1976, the latest available date for which information is available, was £17,524,799. I am satisfied that the resources of the fund are being used in the ways envisaged in the Finance Act 1946 and in subsequent child tax allowances.
