HC Deb 03 April 1978 vol 947 c69W
14. Mr. Wigley

asked the Secretary of State for Wales if he will now direct his office to draw up an economic plan for Wales containing a detailed strategy for the effective use of Wales' manpower resources.

Mr. John Mortis

The Government's industrial and employment policies aim to use to the full the manpower resources of Wales. I consider that the needs of Wales are better met area by area, rather than by isolating Wales from the rest of Britain, as the hon. Member's policies seek to do.
