asked the Secretary of State for Wales what was the total spending on derelict land reclamation in Wales in each year since 1979; what are the estimates for 1987–88 and 1988–89; what was the total funding for derelict land reclamation and environmental improvements by the Welsh Development Agency in each year since 1979; and what are the estimates for 1987–88 and 1988–89.

The information is as follows:

1979–80	7·4	7·7
1980–81	7·9	9·3

1 Estimated outturn.

As I announced in the House on 8 December, the agency's land reclamation and environmental improvement budget for each of the next three financial years will be about £4 million, or 30 per cent. higher than the initial budget allocation for 1986–87.
