HC Deb 05 July 1989 vol 156 cc178-9W
Mr. Thornton

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will give a breakdown both by individual local authorities and the latest available year of the 54,000 acres of council-owned derelict and redundant land referred to in the 1987–88 report on the inner cities programme.

Mr. Trippier

The amount of unused and underused land owned by local authorities and entered on the land register at 30 June 1989 was 49,931 acres. I have arranged for a breakdown of this by individual local authorities to be placed in the Library today.
