HC Deb 05 July 1972 vol 840 cc129-30W
58. Mr. Fitch

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will state the average price of building land sold in the North-West in the last five years.

Mr. Graham Page

Separate regional figures are not available, but as I told the hon. Member for Bolsover (Mr. Skinner) on 26th May, I am inquiring into the possibility of providing regional figures without undue additional staff effort.—[Vol. 837, c.518.]

Mr. O'Halloran

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what is the estimated cost of available land for housing purposes, per acre, in the Inner London Area; and how the cost compares with the rest of the country.

Mr. Amery

Land costs vary so widely both within Inner London and over the rest of the country that estimates of aver- age costs would give little indication of the real situation as it affects individual families.
