HC Deb 16 October 1973 vol 861 cc141-2W
Mr. Elystan Morgan

asked the Secretary of State for Wales if he will seek legislative powers to enable local authorities in Wales to receive more substantial grants from central Government in providing basic amenities and in carrying out schemes of improvement in rural communities.

Mr. Peter Thomas

No. I do not consider this is necessary. If the hon. Member has any particular area or problem in mind perhaps he will write to me.
