§ 4. Mr. Andersonasked the Secretary of State for Wales what consultation there has been between the planning boards in Wales and the South-West to co-ordinate the two regional plans which are shortly to be published.
§ Mrs. WhiteThe chairmen of the two planning Boards maintain close contact on all matters of mutual interest.
§ Mr. AndersonFollowing the opening of the Severn Bridge, investment decisions, both public and private, on either side of the Channel are bound to affect developments on either side. Does my hon. Friend, therefore, not see that there is a case for further institutionalised contact between the two planning bodies on either side of the Bristol Channel?
§ Mrs. WhiteI cannot say that I like the phrase "institutionalised contact", but, apart from that, my hon. Friend will be aware of the arrangements being made for a Severnside study in which the Welsh 1930 Office and the respective Departments in England will be closely concerned. As for day-to-day matters, as I have suggested, there is a continual interchange of views.
