HC Deb 15 April 1975 vol 890 cc74-5W
Mr. Wyn Roberts

asked the Secretary of State for Wales how he proposes to apportion any financial surplus accruing to the Land Authority for Wales as between the Exchequer and other authorities.

Mr. John Morris

Under our present proposals, the Exchequer would receive 40 per cent. of the surplus and the balance of 60 per cent. would be distributed to local authorities in Wales.

Mr. Wyn Roberts

asked the Secretary of State for Wales what estimate he has made of the financial surplus accruing annually to the Land Authority for Wales if and when the Community Land Bill becomes law.

Mr. John Morris

Estimates in the Explanatory and Financial Memorandum attached to the Bill show that when the land scheme is in full operation, the Land Authority is expected to make an annual surplus of £34 million to £39 million.
