Mr. Geraint Howells

Mr. John Morris

There are approximately 2¼ million acres of land in Wales which the Government recognise as hill land within the definition in the Livestock Rearing Act 1951.

Mr. Geraint Howells

asked the Secretary of State for Wales how many acres of marginal land there are in Wales.

Mr. John Morris

I regret that the information is not available as there is no statistical definition of marginal land.
