HC Deb 17 February 1964 vol 689 c162W
Mr. Watkins

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government and Minister for Welsh Affairs when the Report of the Committee on Depopulation in Mid-Wales is to be published.

Mr. Hooson

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government and Minister for Welsh Affairs if the series of maps needed for the Beacham Report on Mid-Wales have now been printed; and if he is now able to announce a definite publication date.

Sir K. Joseph

It is not yet possible to announce a definite publication date. This will largely depend on the time taken to reproduce the accompanying maps, a type of work which is subject to considerable delay; but I hope that the report will be available by the early summer.
