§ Mr. Cledwyn Hughesask the Secretary of State for Wales how long it took the inspector to complete his findings following the public inquiry into the Holyhead and District Town Map; and why there has been a further delay in arriving at a final conclusion.
§ Mr. Alec JonesThe inspector's report was received within two months of the public inquiry. The delay in approving the town map has arisen mainly in obtaining essential information from the local authorities in order to deal with the inspector's recommendations. I expect a decision to be issued shortly.
