§ Mr. Farrasked the Secretary of State for Wales (1) what is the total number of local authority owned farms and smallholdings in Wales; and what is the total acreage of the land involved;
(2) how many and what acreage of farms and smallholdings are owned by local authorities in each county of Wales; and which of these authorities have a policy of selling a farm or smallholding to a tenant who wishes to buy his own.
§ Mr. Nicholas EdwardsThe statistical information requested is given, insofar as it is available, in the annual report to Parliament on smallholdings in Wales, a copy of which is in the Library of the House. I am arranging for a copy of the report to be sent to my hon. Friend for his convenience. Sales policy is a matter for the individual local authorities concerned.
