HC Deb 30 January 1976 vol 904 c381W
Mr. Nicholas Edwards

asked the Secretary of State for Wales if he will publish a table showing (1) the acreage of derelict land reclaimed in Wales in each calendar year since 1969 and (2) the acreage of derelict land covered by reclamation schemes in Wales approved in each year since 1969.

Mr. Alec Jones

This information is not available in the form requested. The acreage of derelict land approved for grant in each year was as follows:

acres
1969 802
1970 748
1971 1,052
1972 1,024
1973 1,566
1974 683
1975 1,185

Approval is not issued until work is about to commence. It can be assumed that most schemes will have been completed by the end of the year following the year in which approval was given.
