HC Deb 03 March 1971 vol 812 c492W
Mr. Elystan Morgan

asked the Secretary of State for Wales what specific proposals he has for reducing the rate of rural depopulation in Wales; and if he will publish them.

Mr. Peter Thomas

Nearly the whole of rural Wales is a development area. The benefits arising from the Government's regional policies for development areas will assist in stemming rural depopulation in those parts of Wales where it occurs.
