HC Deb 05 March 1998 vol 307 cc736-7W
Mr. Brake

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales (1) what percentage and surface area of recycled land has been decontaminated in each of the last 12 years by county in Wales; and what percentage and surface area of that land has been used for housing developments; [32422]

(2) what percentage of housing has been built on (a) recycled and (b) greenfield land in each of the last 12 years by county in Wales. [32423]

Mr. Win Griffiths

The information requested is not held centrally. However, the Welsh Development Agency (WDA) is responsible for managing the land reclamation programme in Wales and may have some of the information which the hon. Member requires or which he may find helpful. I will, therefore, arrange for the Chief Executive of the WDA to write to the hon. Member and for a copy of his letter to be placed in the Library of the House.
