§ Mr. T. W. Jonesasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what will be the future ownership of Bala Lake, Merioneth; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. Scott-HopkinsIn his statement of 9th February, 1961, on the offer of the Glanllyn Estate to the consortium of tenants, my right hon. Friend said that Lake Bala was excluded from the offer. The sale of the estate is now sufficiently advanced for the sale of the lake to be proceeded with. My right hon. Friend proposes to offer it to the Merioneth County Council and formal negotiations with them will be opened very shortly.
