Question
To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills, how much and what proportion of land was registered in Wales in each of the last 10 years.
The information requested is provided in the table below. Data for Wales has only been collected since September 2005. In addition, total area figures shown for 2006 and 2007 are lower than the rest and this is due to an issue encountered with the Powys Administrative Area where the data was not being stored. The remaining years are correctly shown and include Powys.
