HC Deb 24 January 1978 vol 942 c566W
Mr. Morgan

asked the Secretary of State for Industry whether, in view of the increase in unemployment that is likely to result, at least temporarily, in the Colwyn Bay area as a result of the construction of the proposed North Wales expressway, he will give urgent and favourable consideration to the extension of development area status to the whole of the borough of Colwyn.

Mr. Cryer

The Government do not consider that the effect on Colwyn of the construction of the North Wales Coast Road is likely to be such as to justify extending development area status to the whole of the borough.
