HC Deb 07 May 1969 vol 783 c93W
65. Mr. Clifford Williams

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether, in view of the increased numbers of applications received by the Welsh Office of his Department from firms which have applied to establish industries in development areas in Wales thus causing delays in receiving attention from the Board of Trade Advisory Committee, he will establish a Welsh Board of Trade Advisory Committee to expedite these applications and eliminate the delays.

Mrs. Gwyneth Dunwoody

No. In spite of the increased numbers the time taken by the Advisory Committee to deal with applications has been considerably reduced in the past year.
