HC Deb 15 November 1972 vol 846 cc145-6W
Mr. O'Halloran

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what is the estimated acreage of disused railway land to be made available to local authorities in the inner London area over the next five years.

Mr. Peyton

Following the discussions referred to in the answer given on 9th August to my hon. Friend the Member for Hampstead (Mr. Geoffrey Finsberg), the British Railways Board expects to release about 118 acres of land to local authorities in the Inner London Area within the next three years, and are examining the possibility of further releases.
