HC Deb 21 May 1986 vol 98 c191W
16. Mr. Greenway

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what is his latest estimate of the area of green belt land in (a) the London area and (b) the London borough of Ealing; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Tracey

There are some 1.2 million acres of green belt in London and the home counties, but I have no recent estimate of how much of that is within London itself. In the Ealing borough plan, which has just been adopted, there are 682 acres of green belt within the London borough of Ealing.
