§ 29. Mr. Barry Jonesasked the Secretary of State for Wales whether the existing unmarked Anglo-Welsh boundary in the River Dee, close to the Wirral, Cheshire, shore remains the definitive national boundary for the purposes of industrial development and local government planning decisions of his Department; whether his Department have made any studies of the border; and whether consultations have taken place with Alyn and Deeside council.
§ Mr. Wyn RobertsThe line of the border between England and Wales in the Dee estuary has been uncertain for many years. The local government boundary commissions of England and Wales are jointly conducting a review of this part of the England—Wales border with a view to removing the uncertainty and establishing a legal boundary.
