To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food, pursuant to his answer of 9 May,Official Report, column 590, if he will make it his policy to collect information centrally in respect of agricultural land in England and Wales in overseas ownership.

Mr. Maclean

No. The costs and practical difficulties of adopting such a policy are excessive and outweigh the potential benefits.
