§ Sir John Rodgersasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer (1) if he will seek to rename the National Land Fund the National Heritage Fund so that this will reflect the Fund's functions and purposes;
(2) if he will introduce legislation to place the National Land Fund under the control of independent trustees to be appointed by the Prime Minister.
§ Mr. Joel BarnettThe Expenditure Committee recently reported on the National Land Fund. Replacing that fund by a National Heritage Fund and placing the new fund under the control of independent trustees appointed by the 507W Prime Minister are two recommendations in the report, which is being studied by the Government. The Government's reply will be issued in due course.
