HC Deb 07 March 1972 vol 832 c294W
Mr. Laurance Reed

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment how many of the derelict areas justifying treatment in England lie within development, intermediate or derelict land clearance areas, and how many lie outside.

Mr. Graham Page

On 31st December, 1970, there were some 46,900 acres of derelict land justifying treatment in England within the development, intermediate and derelict land clearance areas and some 16,100 acres outside. This information is based on the last survey completed by local planning authorities.
