§ Mr. Robert B. Jonesasked the Secretary of State for the Environment what percentage of new housing was built on (a) virgin land and (b) recycled land in each of the five most recent years for which figures are available.
§ Sir George YoungInformation in the form requested is not available. Figures recently issued for land use changes in England recorded during 1985 show that 22 per cent. of land developed for residential use was previously developed, 23 per cent. was vacant land in urban areas, and 55 per cent. had been mainly in agricultural use.
