HC Deb 17 February 1960 vol 617 cc117-8W
59. Mr. Ronald Bell

asked the Minister of Transport the approximate value, at current market prices, of all land now owned or held on long lease by the British Transport Commission; and for what total sum the Commission has sold land since it took over.

Mr. Marples

I have no figure for the current market value of land now owned or held by the British Transport Commission. This could be obtained only after very considerable work of survey and valuation. As regards the second part of the Question, the Commission has realised over £10 million from property sold since it took over.
