HC Deb 30 November 1967 vol 755 c182W
Mr. Hooson

asked the Secretary of State for Wales if he will instigate a geophysical survey of Welsh mining resources during the coming year to see what scope for employment and development lies in metal mining in Wales in the future.

Mr. Cledwyn Hughes

The whole of Wales has been covered by an airborne magnetic survey undertaken on behalf of the Institute of Geological Sciences. Interpretation and assessment of the magnetic anomalies revealed are in hand with the object of identifying any localities where further geophysical surveys may be warranted.
