HC Deb 23 November 1978 vol 958 c741W
Mr. Wigley

asked the Secretary of State for Wales how many farms and what acreage of farmland have been purchased by foreign buyers during the past 12 months.

Mr. Alec Jones

This information is not available. The extent of purchases of agricultural land in the United Kingdom by foreign nationals is one of the matters being considered by the committee of inquiry into the acquisition of agricultural land. The committee's report is expected shortly.
