§ Mr. Richard Wainwrightasked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will publish in the Official Report a table to show (a) how much land in (i) the Yorkshire and Humberside region and (ii) west Yorkshire is officially classified as derelict and (b) what proportion of that land is privately owned, and is owned by each separate category of the public sector.
§ Mr. Giles ShawUp-to-date information will be available when the analysis of the derelict land survey held in 1982 is complete and ready for publication later this year. The survey covered both public and private sector land, and the analysis will include details of the amount owned by local authorities and the amount owned by other public bodies and information on each separate category of public body was not requested in the survey.
The last national survey, made in 1974, showed a total of 5,451 hectares of derelict land in the Yorkshire and Humberside region, of which 2,857 hectares were in west Yorkshire. These figures were not broken down by ownership.
