§ 23. Mr. William Edwardsasked the Secretary of State for Wales whether he has received the report of his inspector upon the Rio Tinto Zinc Company's application to drill in Merioneth.
§ Mr. Gibson-WattYes; and my right hon. and learned Friend is now considering it.
§ Mr. EdwardsWhen the Secretary of State visited Holyhead on Saturday to open the project which Rio Tinto Zinc and others have developed there, was he informed that this project for Merioneth, though the report was favourable, could not come to fruition because of the effect of the Government's investment policy?
§ Mr. Gibson-WattI will ask my right hon. and learned Friend, and I will ask him to write to the hon. Gentleman.
