Written Answers. - Land Commission Holdings.
244.
I would refer the Deputy to my reply to his similar question on 8th February, 1972, when I supplied the relevant figures to 31st December, 1971.
The records of lands on hands are not kept in such a form as to make this information readily available and a significant expenditure of time and labour is required to ascertain it.
In the circumstances, the Deputy may feel that annual figures would be sufficient. He already has the information to 31st December, 1971, and, if he will inquire again in the New Year, I shall let him have the figures to 31st December, 1972.
