HC Deb 17 January 1979 vol 960 cc766-7W
Mr. Morgan

asked the Secretary of State for Wales whether he will use his best endeavours with the Manpower Services Commission to expedite its decision with regard to the establishment of an employment rehabilitation centre in North Wales.

Mr. John Morris:

The Manpower Services Commission is fully aware of local concern on this issue.

Mr. Morgan

asked the Secretary of State for Wales whether he approves in principle of the establishment in North Wales of an employment rehabilitation centre, either of the normal type, providing treatment for about 70 patients, or of the smaller kind lately developed, which is designed for about 30 patients.

Mr. John Morris:

The Manpower Services Commission intends to review the whole question of employment rehabilitation, including the feasibility of the concept and location of mini-centres of the type to which the hon. and learned Member has referred. I do not wish to prejudge that review.
