HC Deb 21 April 1982 vol 22 c114W
25. Mr. Chapman

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment how many acres of approved or designated green belt land have been developed for urban purposes in each of the last five years for which figures are available.

Mr. Giles Shaw

Detailed records of development in the green belt are not maintained by my Department. The Government attach great importance to the protection of green belts. If my hon. Friend has a particular aspect in mind I shall be glad to try to assist him.
