§ Mr. Ron DaviesTo ask the Secretary of State for Wales what proposals he has for the reorganisation of the agriculture service provided by his Department; which offices will be affected; what are the employment consequences; and what assessment he has made of the likely effect of such changes on the extent and quality of agricultural advice available in the Principality.
§ Mr. David HuntI have already announced that ADAS will operate as a joint agency serving England and Wales when it comes into existence on 1 April 1992. I have also announced that the Welsh headquarters of the agency will remain at Trawsgoed, Aberystwyth, and that there will be two business centres at Cardiff and Ruthin. The agency will continue to occupy its other offices when it is established and no decisions will be taken on its longer-term office structure until the implications of any540W changes have been fully considered. I have every confidence that the agency will provide an efficient and high-quality service to all its customers.
