§ Mr. G. Robertsasked the President of the Board of Trade which areas in Wales and Monmouthshire are designated as unemployment areas as distinct from development areas; and what special facilities and priorities are extended to such areas.
§ Sir S. CrippsThe list of unemployment areas in Wales and Monmouthshire comprises the following: Amlwch, Beaumaris, Holyhead and Llangefni in Anglesey; Bangor, Bethesda, Caernarvon, Llanberis, Penygroes, Portma-doc and Pwllheli in Caernarvonshire; Blaenau Festiniog in Merionethshire; Llanidloes in Montgomeryshire; and Aberystwyth, Cardigan and Llandyssul in Cardinganshire. With a view to minimising unemployment in such areas the industrial concerns therein receive the same preferential treatment with regard to allocations of raw materials as those in Development Areas.
