HC Deb 23 May 1978 vol 950 cc558-9W
Mr. Wigley

asked the Secretary of State for Wales if he will publish a table showing how many qualified speech therapists there are in each of the eight counties of Wales; how many of these are competent to assist Welsh monolingual young children; and what steps he is taking to improve the situation.

Mr. Barry Jones

The information is given below:

offered by his Department in respect of properties that are being acquired for the purpose of constructing the North Wales expressway, what steps he proposes to take in order to ensure that fair and realistic sums are paid for such properties.

Mr. Barry Jones

Acquisition by the Welsh Office of properties at Colwyn Bay in connection with the construction of the proposed new A55 North Wales coast road has so far been confined to properties blighted by the published route, and I am not aware of general dissatisfaction with the sums so negotiated. If a vendor is dissatisfied with the terms offered by the district valuer negotiating on our behalf, he has the right to refer the matter to the Lands Tribunal for determination.
