asked the Secretary of State for Wales whether he is undertaking a study of the likely economic effects on Wales if the United Kingdom withdraws from the EEC; and if he will make a statement.

All factors affecting the economic situation in Wales are kept under review. The Government's objective, however, is to renegotiate acceptable terms of EEC membership to put to the people of the United Kingdom.

Mr. Gwynfor Evans

asked the Secretary of State for Wales how many visits have been made to the EEC Commission in Brussels by members of the Welsh Office's European Division since the United Kingdom's accession to the EEC.
