§ Mr. Hastingsasked the Minister of Housing and Local Government, what estimate he has made of the acreage of agricultural land which would be lost by the construction of the four proposed new reservoirs in East Anglia.
§ Mr. MacCollThe four sites mentioned in the reply to the hon. Member's Question on 22nd March are at Empingham and Manton, both situated in Rutland between Oakham and Stamford, and at Whitchurch and Waddesdon, near Aylesbury. Investigations as to how far these sites are practicable are now being undertaken. If all four sites were used, 7,900 acres would be needed.
