HC Deb 23 May 1977 vol 932 c375W
4. Mr. Cledwyn Hughes

asked the Secretary of State for Wales what measures have been taken and what plans are proposed by the Welsh Development Agency to strengthen the Welsh economy.

Mr. John Morris

The Agency published its statement of policies and programmes earlier this year. I have recently approved programmes totalling some £20 million for factory building, land reclamation and environmental improvement. The Agency is also increasingly active in the field of industrial investment.

20. Mr. Tom Ellis

asked the Secretary of State for Wales why he has authorised the Welsh Development Agency to embark on a further programme of factory building.

Mr. John Morris

To ensure that there is sufficient factory space available in the right place, of the right size, and at the right time to meet prospective demand.
