HC Deb 10 July 1992 vol 211 cc359-60W
Mr. Sweeney

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales if he will make it his policy to preserve the present Vale of Glamorgan district authority as a unitary authority, including Penarth, and to expand the vale to the west by adding Wick, Southerndown, Ogmore and Porthcawl.

Mr. David Hunt

The statement I made to the House of Commons on 3 March 1992 included a proposal for an authority for the Vale of Glamorgan. I am at present consulting on that and other proposals and am well aware of my hon. Friend's strong representations on this issue; those consultations include further consideration of boundaries for the new authorities.
