§ Mr. Gwynoro Jonesasked the Secretary of State for Wales what was the total acreage of derelict land in Wales in December 1970 and December 1972; and how much was held to justify reclamation in the two years, respectively.
§ Mr. Peter ThomasThe former procedure for making annual estimates of the total acreage has not proved entirely reliable and a comprehensive mapping survey of dereliction is now in progress. I shall wish to wait for the results of this before making any further estimates.
