HC Deb 08 December 1977 vol 940 c838W
Mr. Sillars

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will publish a table showing the extent of clearance of derelict land over each of the past five years; and what is his estimate of the major works still waiting to be undertaken.

Since 15th December 1975 this has been a matter for the Scottish Development Agency. For schemes authorised before that date and in some cases completed subsequently, the figures are as follows:

1974 1,028
