HC Deb 01 July 1982 vol 26 cc373-4W
24. Mr. Morgan

asked the Secretary of State for Wales what definition of the boundary of Wales is used to describe the limits of the responsibilities he exercises as Secretary of State.

Mr. Wyn Roberts

Over almost the whole of its length the true legal boundary between Wales and England is shown on Ordnance Survey maps. The one exception is that there is uncertainty over part of the line of the border to the north-west of Chester. The Local Government Boundary Commissions of England and Wales are jointly conducting a review of this part of the border with a view to removing the uncertainty and establishing a legal boundary in the Dee estuary.
