§ Mr. Barry JonesTo ask the Secretary of State for Wales if he will make a statement on the future organisation of the Welsh Development Agency; what is his policy towards maintaining the free standing and unmerged status of the Welsh Development Agency; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. Peter WalkerI have no plans to change the present status of the Welsh Development Agency. The Agency's enterprise promotion activities will be further co-ordinated with industrial training in Wales as part of the longer term arrangements being developed following the withdrawal of the Training Commission's responsibilities in that area.
