HC Deb 26 July 1967 vol 751 c161W
Mr. Elysian Morgan

asked the Secretary of State for Wales if he will give an assurance that the members of the proposed Mid-Wales Development Corporation will be drawn predominantly from Mid-Wales.

Mr. Cledwyn Hughes

In appointing members of the Corporation my aim will be to choose persons having the kind of knowledge and experience which are likely to be of most value to the town and who would make an effective team. As required by the Act, I shall certainly have regard to the desirability of securing the services of one or more persons resident in or having special knowledge of the locality and will consult the local authorities most closely concerned before making any appointments.
