HC Deb 22 February 1989 vol 147 c695W
98. Mr. Boyes

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment what studies his Department has undertaken into the workings of land markets in the United Kingdom and European Economic Community countries.

Mr. Chope

The Department is participating in an international study of urban land markets under the direction of the OECD. The Department's main contribution is a United Kingdom national report that was submitted in 1987 and published by HMSO last September under the title "Urban Land Markets in the United Kingdom". Other EC countries have produced national reports and a final project report with comparative analyses will be available from the OECD later this year.
