§ Mr. Elystan Morganasked the Secretary of State for Wales what representations he has received with regard to the possible creation of an elected Council for Wales as part of his plan for the reorganisation of local government in Wales.
§ Mr. Cledwyn HughesI have had views from the officers and members of local authorities consulted on an informal and confidential basis by my Inter-Departmental Working Party, and other people and bodies who have written to me on their own initiative. While some favoured the creation of an elected Council for Wales, others did not and opinions differed widely over the possible duties and composition of such a body.
