Mr. Cledwyn Hughes

No. This was a confidential discussion which I arranged because of my general interest in the South Wales ports.

asked the Secretary of State for Wales if he will publish the report made to him by the Welsh Economic Council about the South Wales Ports; and if he will make a statement.

No. The Council's advice is confidential to me.
