§ Mr. LammyI have been asked to reply.
Other than by approaching each individual government department in the Chorley constituency, it is not possible to provide information on the amount of unregistered land owned by them. Land Registry holds information on land ownership relating to registered titles but, under Rule 11 of the Land Registration Rules 2003, it is only possible to search for ownership by name if the applicant can satisfy the registrar that he is interested generally (for instance, as trustee in bankruptcy or personal representative). Land Registry does not hold information on land use.
