Mr. Andrew MacKay
asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he is satisfied with the speed of building land reclamation in the inner cities.
Mr. Kenneth Baker
In general, yes. This year we will make available £76 million which we estimate will fund the reclamation of between 1,300 and 1,700 hectares. Since 1979 we have reclaimed 7,700 hectares. Much still needs to be done.
