HC Deb 18 February 1969 vol 778 cc58-9W
36. Sir E. Errington

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government by how much, as a result of public acquisition by the Land Commission, he estimates the cost of building land has been cheapened; and whether he will make a statement.

Mr. K. Robinson

The cost of building land is influenced by the supply. The Commission can make the most favour-able impact on land prices by ensuring a steady supply to the market and its acquisition programme is being built up to this end.
