HC Deb 12 May 1969 vol 783 cc172-3W
Mr. J. E. B. Hill

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will state in tabular form the acreage of agricultural land taken for development in each of the last 10 years, subdivided into the different classes of land as used in the land classification survey.

Mr. John Mackie

I think the hon. Member has in mind the agricultural land classification currently being undertaken by my Department. If so, I am afraid the information for which he asks is not available, as the survey does not include details of land which has already been taken out of agricultural use
