HC Deb 22 May 1979 vol 967 c81W
Mr. Frank Allaun

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will make a statement on the future of the Community Land Act.

Mr. Fox

I refer the hon. Member to the statement made by my right hon. Friend in the debate on 17 May.—[Vol. 967, c. 407.]

Mr. Frank Allaun

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he is satisfied with the present definition of operational land in the Community Land Act 1975.

Mr. Fox

The definition in the 1975 Act is the same as that in section 222 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1971, which we are not proposing to change.

Mr. Frank Allaun

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what allocations have been made to finance the community land scheme over the next five years.

Mr. Fox

I refer the hon. Member to the reply my right hon. Friend the Minister for Local Government and Environmental Services gave on Monday 21 May to my hon. Friend the Member for Rutland and Stamford (Mr. Lewis).—[Vol. 967, c. 67–8.] Any residual public expenditure provision will be made in the light of that statement.
