§ Mr. Geraint Howellsasked the Secretary of State for Wales if he has any further plans to give extra financial aid to local authorities in Wales for the clearance of derelict land; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. Wyn RobertsWe are satisfied that the resources available to the Welsh Development Agency will enable it to continue with the clearance of derelict land on a worthwhile scale. With my right hon. Friend's approval, the agency recently announced a new programme of land reclamation which is to cost about £16 million in coining years.
