HC Deb 31 January 1972 vol 830 cc3-4W
Mr. Hooson

asked the Secretary of State for Wales if he will make a statement of his policy regarding the future development of Mid-Wales.

Mr. Peter Thomas

I outlined the Government's policy to the Welsh Grand Committee last year. I have recently announced my willingness to assist the development of the growth towns by considering applications from the authorities concerned for grants under Section 7 of the Local Employment Act on a wider basis than hitherto.
