HC Deb 29 March 1990 vol 170 c271W
Mr. Barry Jones

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales what is his estimate of the loss of agricultural land for urban development for each of the last 10 years in Wales; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Peter Walker

Information on land use changes in Wales from 1985 to 1988 is included in appendices 3 and 4 of the "Environmental Digest for Wales, No. 4, 1988–89", a copy of which is in the Library. It should be noted that since changes are recorded by Ordnance Survey as part of its work on map revision, they are not necessarily recorded in the year they occur. Comparable data for earlier years are not available.
