Mr. Heddle
asked the Secretary of State for the Environment, pursuant to the reply to the hon. Member for Lichfield and Tamworth, Official Report, 22 February, column 312, whether he will list in the Official Report each of the 189 local authorities which have not yet furnished his Department with details of their vacant land holdings in preparation for the national land register to be published on 1 April; and what steps he intends to take to ensure that they do so.
Mr. Giles Shaw
Since my reply of 22 February further returns have been arriving, and I am satisfied that authorities generally are making good progress in assembling the information requested. It would be misleading to list at this particular stage those who have still to complete their returns.
