HC Deb 17 April 1972 vol 835 cc25-6W
Mr. Loughlin

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what increases in average land costs have taken place since April, 1971, to the nearest convenient date; and if he will give a breakdown of such costs on a regional basis.

Mr. Graham Page

Comprehensive information is not available about prices of land for all purposes, but we estimate that the average price per plot of private sector housing land in England and Wales rose by about 22 per cent. from the first half to the second half of 1971. Regional figures are not available.
