§ 21. Mr. Gwynoro Jonesasked the Secretary of State for Wales if he will list the organisations he has met in Wales since June, 1970, with direct involvement in the unemployment situation.
§ Mr. Peter ThomasA large number of organisations I meet have some involvement in the economic situation and related issues of employment and unemployment. It would be impracticable to list them all.
§ Mr. JonesIs the Secretary of State aware that both the trade unions and the C.B.I. have strongly condemned the Government policy of abandoning investment grants? Will he explain how long the "at a stroke" referred to by the Prime Minister in June, 1970, is intended to take?
§ Mr. ThomasBoth the C.B.I. and T.U.C. in Wales, who have met me on several occasions, have put forward suggestions, many of which have been carried into effect by the Government. I am looking forward to future meetings with them. I am meeting the T.U.C. on 11th February and representatives of the Welsh Council two days before that.
