HC Deb 20 June 1967 vol 748 cc265-6W
Mr. Elystan Morgan

asked the Secretary of State for Wales if he will cause the Welsh Economic Council to make a survey of areas of low economic growth in Wales which could benefit from a higher rate of regional employment premium.

Mr. Cledwyn Hughes

The Welsh Economic Council has already advised me on the likely effects of the Regional Employment Premium in Wales. The Government's decision to introduce the premium has been generally welcomed in Wales but it would be premature to consider going beyond the terms of the White Paper Cmnd. 3310 until there is experience of the effects of the scheme.
