HC Deb 17 April 1980 vol 982 c685W
Mr. Geraint Howells

asked the Secretary of State for Wales how many jobs his Department anticipates will be lost in Wales as a result of changes in the law relating to direct labour organisations contained in the Local Government, Planning and Land (No. 2) Bill; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Wyn Roberts

The net effect of the provisions on jobs in Wales is difficult to quantify, but it is not expected to be significant.
