§ Mr. Andrew F. Bennettasked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will list all land bought by him, or land bought by someone else, with assistance from the National Land Fund, between 1946 and 1980 and all land bought by him, or land bought by someone else, with assistance from the National Heritage Memorial Fund since 1980; who now owns and manages the lands; and which of them are open to public access.
§ Mr. Giles ShawThe activities of the National Land Fund, until its demise in 1980, were the responsibility of 167W my right hon. and learned Friend the Chancellor of the Exchequer. I have asked him to write to the hon. Member about this part of his question. That part of the question relating to land acquired with the assistance of the national heritage memorial fund is a matter for the trustees of the fund and I suggest that the hon. Member should write to the Secretary of the fund for any detailed information that he seeks. No land has been so acquired by my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State.
