To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment which sites in the Bolton area are included in the Goverment's register of under-used publicly owned land; and what is their individual acreage.

The Department's register has now been superseded for most purposes by individual public sector owners' registers which have been available to the public since 31 October 1989 under codes of practice issued last August. Copies of relevant extracts are available at district council officesI have, however, arranged for a list of sites in the Bolton area on the Department's register as at 30 September 1989 to be placed in the Library.
