§ Mr. Barry JonesTo ask the Secretary of State for Wales how much land has been sold in the last few years by his Department giving the acreage and the estimated receipts.
§ Mr. David HuntIn the last three financial years up to 31 March 1991, 177.4 acres of land were sold by my 135W Department amounting to estimated receipts of £9,697,000. In addition the Forestry Commission sold 8,057 acres of forest land and 2,119 acres of non-forest land on behalf of my Department. The receipts for the forest land amounted to £5,269,000. Records of receipts for non-forest land are not kept separately by country and this information could be obtained only at disproportionate cost.
