HC Deb 15 December 1980 vol 996 c6W
14. Mr. Hudson Davies

asked the Secretary of State for Wales what is the present level of unemployment in Wales: and what steps he proposes to take to reduce this level.

Mr. Nicholas Edwards

I refer the hon. Member to the answer I gave to the hon. Member for Flint, East (Mr. Jones) earlier today. Unemployment in Wales as elsewhere will not fall significantly until we reduce inflation and restore the conditions in which British industry can compete successfully.
