HC Deb 21 February 1985 vol 73 c535W
Mr. Iain Mills

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will publish the amount of derelict industrial land in the West Midlands county council area.

Mr. Macfarlane

This information is not available in the form requested. The land in the 1982 derelict land survey is not broken down sufficiently to identify that which is industrial. There are, however, 2,000 acres in the West Midlands county council area listed in the survey under the "other" category, which includes industrial dereliction. A copy of the 1982 survey is available in the Library.
