HC Deb 12 December 1978 vol 960 cc115-6W
Mr. Mudd

asked the Secretary of State for Employment if he has yet received the final draft of the report relating to unemployment in West Cornwall; and, if he will indicate the date by which he anticipates receiving it.

Mr. Golding:

I hope to receive the report on unemployment in West Cornwall early in the New Year.

Mr. Mudd

asked the Secretary of State for Employment if he will indicate the date, or the approximate date, on which he will be meeting a deputation from Cornwall county council and the Cornwall Association of District Councils to discuss solutions to Cornwall's problems of unemployment.

Mr. Golding:

I understand that my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for the Environment has suggested that such a meeting should take place after the results of my Department's study on unemployment in West Cornwall are available. I hope to receive the report of this study early in the new year.
