HC Deb 14 February 1994 vol 237 c628W
16. Mr. Llwyd

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales what appraisal there has been of the take-up rate and the general success of the Tir Cymen pilot schemes in Wales; and if he will make a statement.

Sir Wyn Roberts

A pilot scheme was launched in July 1992 and is planned to run for five years. A full appraisal will take place towards the end of the period. The target for take-up of the scheme is to have 50 per cent. of eligible land entered within five years. To date some 25 per cent. has been entered. The indications are that the scheme is proving to be successful.
