Mr. Latham

asked the Secretary of State for Wales whether any disposal notification areas under the Community Land Act are currently in force in Wales; and, if so, where they are.

Mr. Michael Roberts

There are no disposal notification areas in force in Wales.

Mr. Latham

asked the Secretary of State for Wales whether any circulars, guidance notes, design bulletins or other official communications, including details of any requirements under section 14(9) of the Act, have been issued by his Department dealing with the Community Land Act since 9 March; and, if so, whether he will give details.

Mr. Michael Roberts

Welsh Office circular 53/79, entitled "Local Government Act 1972: Section 123A. Disposal of Land by Local Authorities", was issued on 6 July 1979. I am sending my hon. Friend a copy.

Mr. Latham

asked the Secretary of State for Wales whether any directions have been issued to the Land Authority for Wales under section 8(3) of the Community Land Act 1975 since 9 March; and, if so, whether he will give details.
