HC Deb 16 June 1981 vol 6 c353W
Dr. Roger Thomas

asked the Secretary of State for Wales if he will take steps to have less-favoured-area status extended to a greater proportion of the marginal land in Wales.

Mr. Nicholas Edwards

Consideration of all the criteria required by the EEC directive on less favoured areas has not been completed and the area of marginal land in Wales not yet finally determined.
