§ 64. Mr. Gwynfor Evansasked the Secretary of State for Wales if he will decide against the creation of a new town in mid-Wales and use the £137 million, which is its estimated cost, to build modern highways in Wales.
§ Mr. Cledwyn Hughes1 cannot anticipate my decision about a new town in Mid-Wales. Judging from their reactions so far, many people in Wales would like to see urban and other development in Mid-Wales as well as the building of modern highways.
§ 65. Mr. Gibson-Wattasked the Secretary of State for Wales what steps he intends to take in connection with the consultants' report on a new town in Mid-Wales.
