§ 10. Mr. Probertasked the Secretary of State for Wales what consultations he has had with the nationalised industries and the Wales Regional Hospital Board in his preparation of a plan for reorganisation of local government in Wales.
§ Mr. Cledwyn HughesConsultation with these and other authorities can most fruitfully take place after I have published my White Paper.
§ Mr. ProbertDoes not my hon. Friend think that here was an excellent opportunity to discuss with these services and the nationalised industries the opportunities of bringing them within the aegis of regional government?
§ Mr. HughesWe have, in the process of consultations on the White Paper, given careful consideration to what my hon. Friend has said, but there will be an opportunity for these bodies, after the White Paper is published, to make any representations they wish to make.
