§ Mr. Gwynfor Evansasked the Secretary of State for Wales if he will give the names of towns in Wales designated as expanding towns under the Town Development Act 1952.
§ Mr. George ThomasThe Town Development Act 1952 does not specifically provide for the designation of expanding towns. Ten local authorities in Wales have entered into agreements under the Act with Birmingham Corporation to accept overspill population, subject also to the movement of industry to the areas concerned. They are Brecon, Flint and Llanelli Borough Councils, Amlwch, Bedwellty, Holyhead, Llandrindod Wells and Llangefni Urban District Councils and Edeyrnion and Pontardawe Rural District Councils. No 27W houses have so far been provided under these agreements.
