HC Deb 05 May 1977 vol 931 cc277-8W
Mr. Morgan

asked the Secretary of State for Wales whether he is now in a position to announce an approximate date for the publication of his decision with regard to the route of the North Wales Expressway; and if he will give an assurance that his decision will be made known before the commencement of the parliamentary Summer Recess.

(2) what is the current average wage in the county of Dyfed; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Golding

The following New Earnings Survey estimates for April 1976 are the latest which are available covering all ocupations in all industries and services. They relate to average gross weekly earnings for full-time workers whose pay for the survey pay period was not affected by absence. The percentage standard errors indicate the reliability of the survey sample estimates.

Mr. Barry Jones

Not yet. Consideration is still being given to the inspector's report. I assure the hon. and learned Member that there will be no unavoidable delay in making the decision public once it has been taken.

Forward to
