HC Deb 16 February 1967 vol 741 cc143-4W
Mr. Roy Hughes

asked the Secretary of State for Wales if he is aware that, after Questions relating to houses at Brynglas Avenue, Newport, were placed on the Order Paper by the hon. Member for Newport and before any replies had been received from him, comments on the Questions were made to the Western Mail by a spokesman of the Welsh Office; and what action he intends taking to ensure that civil servants at the Welsh Office do not usurp his function and that they pay proper respect to the House.

Mr. Cledwyn Hughes

The information given to the Press on 27th January was limited to that which the Under-Secretary had already sent to my hon. Friend in a letter dated 12th January.
