HC Deb 08 November 1982 vol 31 c44W
Mr. Donald Stewart

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland how much land in Scotland is now covered by the land registration system; and if he will express the figure as a percentage of total acreage in Scotland.

Mr. Younger

Compulsory registration of sales of heritable property under the Land Registration (Scotland) Act 1979 came into effect for the county of Renfrew on 6 April 1981, and for the county of Dunbarton on 4 October 1982. Up to 3 November 1982, 10,905 units of property in these counties had been so registered. It is not possible to estimate the acreage represented by these units.
