HC Deb 13 July 1970 vol 803 cc153-4W
Mr. Hooson

asked the Secretary of State for Wales what plans he has for developing the existing towns of Mid-Wales; and when he proposes to announce these plans.

Mr. Peter Thomas

The development of the existing towns of mid-Wales is primarily the responsibility of the local authorities and, in the case of Newtown, the Mid-Wales Development Corporation. Discussions are to be held with the authorities concerned to consider what further steps should be taken to encourage necessary developments.
