§ 19. Mr. David EvansTo ask the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will make a statement on the performance of local authorities in disposing of unused and underused land.
§ Mr. TrippierBy the end of 1987 local authorities had disposed of over 16,000 acres of the unused and underused land entered on the registers of such land which the Department maintains.
In its recent report on local authority property management the Audit Commission has drawn attention to the ways in which the management practices of local authorities can be improved, which I am now considering.
