HC Deb 15 May 1980 vol 984 c568W
Mr. Wigley

asked the Secretary of State for Industry, in view of the further factory closures and redundancies that have recently been announced in the Arfon and Dwyfor areas, if he will now review his decision to downgrade the industrial development status of these areas.

Mr. David Mitchell

We recently reexamined the gradings of the Caernarvon and Pwllheli travel-to-work areas—TTWAs—and decided that we would not be justified in reversing the decision to make these TTWAs into development areas on 1 August. We will be keeping a close watch on their progress.
