HC Deb 24 January 1977 vol 924 c421W
23. Mr. Wyn Roberts

asked the Secretary of State for Industry what steps he is taking to raise the level of industrial production in Wales above the year of the three-day working week.

Mr. Cryer

The Government are developing a comprehensive medium-term programme to restore the economy to balance with high levels of output and employment and a vigorous and expanding industry in all parts of the United Kingdom. An increase of 5½ per cent. in manufacturing output is expected during 1977, and Wales should participate in this.
