HC Deb 27 October 1966 vol 734 c209W
64. Mr. Gwynfor Evans

asked the Secretary of State for Wales if he will decide against the creation of a new town in mid-Wales and use the £137 million, which is its estimated cost, to build modern highways in Wales.

Mr. Cledwyn Hughes

1 cannot anticipate my decision about a new town in Mid-Wales. Judging from their reactions so far, many people in Wales would like to see urban and other development in Mid-Wales as well as the building of modern highways.

65. Mr. Gibson-Watt

asked the Secretary of State for Wales what steps he intends to take in connection with the consultants' report on a new town in Mid-Wales.

Mr. Cledwyn Hughes

1 shall consider the action to be taken on this report when I have heard from all the representative bodies whose views I have sought.
