Mr. Michael Spicer

On 30 September 1989, 82,400 acres were on the register. This is 25 per cent. less than at the end of 1985. We are currently considering the role of the register and whether further measures might be appropriate to reduce the amount of public sector vacant land.

89. Mr. Brandon-Bravo

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment how much of the land on the Land Register is also designated as derelict land; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Moynihan

Entries on the register do not include this information. However, replies to my Department's derelict land survey, the results of which will be published shortly, indicated that in April 1988 some 14,000 acres of derelict land were on the register. The total amount of land registered was some 88,000 acres.
