HC Deb 24 May 1988 vol 134 c102W
Q103. Mr. Steen

To ask the Prime Minister if she will ensure that all Government Departments publish details of vacant, dormant, derelict and underutilised land in their possession.

The Prime Minister

Details of unused and underused land in the ownership of Government Departments in England and Wales are currently entered on the registers of such land maintained by my right hon. Friends the Secretary of State for the Environment and the Secretary of State for Wales. These registers are available for inspection by the public.

Following the announcement by my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for the Enviroment on 7 March that public bodies would themselves publish information about unused and underused land they own, similar publication of information by Government Departments is under consideration.
