I do not have a copy of HANSARD in front of me, but from memory I think that on the last occasion the hon. Member alleged that land prices had risen by 250 per cent., which is very different from 185 per cent. I have given the latest official figures to the House, but they relate to transactions that are many months out of date. I have in front of me details of a case in Staffordshire showing that prices have gone down by very nearly £12,000 an acre since July, compared with the first half of this year.
