§ Mr. Barry JonesTo ask the Secretary of State for Wales what plans he has to ensure that his target for house building on brown- field sites is met; and if he will make a statement. [84357]
Mr. Jon Owen JonesThere are no targets for house building on brown-field sites in Wales. Planning policy guidance on maximising the use of reclaimable land for housing development is set out in the first revision of "Planning Guidance (Wales) Planning Policy" which was published on 7 April. In future, planning guidance on the use of brown-field sites in Wales will be a matter for the National Assembly.
