§ 68. Mr. Cordleasked the Minister of Housing and Local Government what is the estimated net cost of reclaiming 268W derelict land in which reclamation is justified, as listed in the Derelict Land Survey published by his Department.
§ Mr. MacCollNo estimate of cost is available for the 53,976 acres considered by local authorities to justify reclamation. Information from applications for grant so far approved suggests an average cost of £1,100 an acre. This figure, which includes the cost of land acquisition, could vary considerably from site to site.
