§ Mr. Ralph HowellTo ask the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will list in league order, with the highest at the top, the acreage of land held in each district health authority area within the National Health Service in England and Wales; and why those authorities whose land holding is not known do not hold such information.
§ Mrs. CurrieThis information is not readily available centrally. From 1 April 1988, we are asking authorities in England to produce an aggregated annual return of their land holdings. These returns will be received from June 1989 and held on computer. Once that is done, to produce information of the sort requested will be a simple process. Information for Wales is a matter for my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Wales.
