HC Deb 25 May 1972 vol 837 c494W
Mr. Elystan Morgan

asked the Secretary of State for Wales what land reclamation projects the Government has in mind and in hand, respectively, in Wales.

Mr. Peter Thomas

About 70 schemes are at present in the hands of the Derelict Land Unit of the Welsh Office and many others are at varying stages of consideration by local authorities. It is not practicable to provide detailed information on this large number of schemes, but it is my intention that most of the serious dereliction in Wales shall be reclaimed within the next eight or nine years.
