HC Deb 29 November 1966 vol 737 c91W
Mr. Hooson

asked the Minister of Land and Natural Resources if he will give the acreage of common land in Wales including Monmouthshire in the control and/or ownership of Government departments; and if he will give the disposition by counties.

Mr. Willey

Information about the distribution of common land in Wales, including that held by Government departments, will not be complete until registration under the Commons Registration Act, 1965, has become final. Claims that land is common can be made by any person whether or not he has a legal interest in the land, and registration authorities may register land even if no such claims are made.
