asked the Secretary of State for the Environment how many acres of derelict land exist in the Dearne Valley constituency; how many acres have now been reclaimed; and how many have been scheduled for reclamation.

160 acres of derelict land were cleared during 1970 leaving 291 acres in the constituency which justify treatment. The local authorities concerned have firm proposals for reclaiming a further 100 acres and other schemes are in preparation.
