HC Deb 20 December 1965 vol 722 c351W
7. Mr. Hamling

asked the Minister of Land and Natural Resources whether, as part of the legislation on leasehold reform, he will seek powers to set up a registry to record the uses to which land is put in England and Wales.

Mr. Skeffington

No. This would be remote from the purposes of the legislation, which will be confined to residential leasehold property. However, my right hon. Friend is considering, with the help of the Natural Resources Advisory Committee, what improvements can be made in getting more accurate and up-to-date information on land use available on a uniform basis.
