HC Deb 01 June 1981 vol 5 cc268-9W
Mr. John Morris

asked the Secretary of State for Employment whether he will review his Department's decision not to provide facilities, including, in particular, payment facilities in each village in the Glyncorrwg area, in view of the high cost and inadequacy of public transport facilities.

Mr. Peter Morrison

The provision of further facilities for the unemployed is considered where existing facilities are inadequate to cope with foreseeable numbers of staff and unemployed people. I have no plans for the provision of facilities in the villages in the Glyncorrwg area, as adequate facilities are available at Cwmmer part-time benefit office. The fares paid by the people in this area compare favourably with similar journeys already made by unemployed persons both in rural areas and the larger conurbations.
