HC Deb 07 November 1967 vol 753 c106W
Mr. Elystan Morgan

asked the Secretary of State for Wales how many planning authorities in Mid-Wales have staff equipped to undertake economic planning as opposed to Town and Country Planning.

Mr. Cledwyn Hughes

I am not clear what kind of work my hon. Friend has in mind. For the purpose of encouraging industrial development, the Counties co-operate together in the Mid-Wales Industrial Development Association while general economic planning is a function of the appropriate Government Departments who are advised by the Welsh Economic Council.
