Mr. Barry Jones

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales how much land has been sold in the last few years by his Department giving the acreage and the estimated receipts.

Mr. David Hunt

In the last three financial years up to 31 March 1991, 177.4 acres of land were sold by my Department amounting to estimated receipts of £9,697,000. In addition the Forestry Commission sold 8,057 acres of forest land and 2,119 acres of non-forest land on behalf of my Department. The receipts for the forest land amounted to £5,269,000. Records of receipts for non-forest land are not kept separately by country and this information could be obtained only at disproportionate cost.
