HC Deb 26 July 1978 vol 954 cc799-800W
Mr. Michael Morris

asked the Secretary of State for Wales what is the extent of derelict land in each of the districts in Gwent, South Glamorgan, Mid-Glamorgan, and West Glamorgan expressed (a) in acres and (b) as a percentage of the total area.

Mr. Alec Jones

The information is not readily available in the form requested. However, the Welsh Development Agency advise my right hon. and learned Friend that it estimates the position in each county to be as follows:

County Disused derelict land (acres) Disused derelict land as proportion of total land area (per cent.)
Gwent 4,600 1.4
South Glamorgan 1,200 1.2
Mid-Glamorgan 5,800 2.3
West Glamorgan 3,300 1.7
