HC Deb 21 December 1982 vol 34 cc506-12W
Mr. Heddle

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what is the total acreage of land owned by each individual local authority in England and Wales registered on the land registers.

Mr. Giles Shaw

The table sets out the acreage of land owned by county and district councils and entered at 1 July—the date for the last full analysis—on the registers for the English districts and London boroughs named. The figures for each register include any land in the area concerned owned by councils for other areas. Registers on which there is no local authority land are excluded. There are so far no land registers in Wales.
