HC Deb 01 March 1971 vol 812 cc298-9W
38. Mr. Goronwy Roberts

asked the Secretary of State for Wales (1) how many road workers have been, or are likely to be, declared redundant in Wales as a result of changes in the Winter Roads Scheme;

(2) how many road workers have been or are likely to be declared redundant in each county in Wales as a result of changes in the Winter Roads Scheme.

Mr. Peter Thomas

This information is not available, but since expenditure on local authority roads in Wales in 1970–71 is expected to be substantially higher than in 1969–70 which included a special winter programme, it is unlikely that the absence of a programme this winter will have had significant effects.
