HC Deb 24 January 1986 vol 90 c320W
Mr. Ron Davies

asked the Secretary of State for Wales what is the average annual loss of moorland to agricultural or other development in Wales.

Mr. Nicholas Edwards

Moorland is not identified separately from rough grazing in the agricultural census. The reduction in the area of rough grazing between 1975 and 1985 has averaged 7,300 hectares per year.
