HC Deb 08 May 1985 vol 78 c416W
31. Mr. Andrew MacKay

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he is satisfied with the speed of building land reclamation in the inner cities.

Mr. Kenneth Baker

In general, yes. This year we will make available £76 million which we estimate will fund the reclamation of between 1,300 and 1,700 hectares. Since 1979 we have reclaimed 7,700 hectares. Much still needs to be done.
