Mid-Wales Development Corporation

HC Deb 27 July 1967 vol 751 cc227-8W

Mr. Elystan Morgan

asked the Secretary of State for Wales when the Mid-Wales Development Corporation will be established.

Mr. Cledwyn Hughes

I hope to establish the Development Corporation within a few days of making the Newtown Designation Order.

Mr. Elystan Morgan

asked the Secretary of State for Wales if he will ensure that the proposed Mid-Wales Development Corporation should make a comprehensive survey of the whole of the Mid-Wales area, with a view to its comprehensive development.

Mr. Cledwyn Hughes

The Development Corporation's first task will be to expand Newtown. I shall consider later whether the Corporation should be entrusted with further responsibilities.
