HC Deb 06 February 1990 vol 166 c547W
Mr. Barry Jones

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales what initiatives he proposes to enhance economic activity in mid-Wales; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Wyn Roberts

The Development Board for Rural Wales has the principal responsibility for the economic regeneration of mid-Wales. Its recently announced "Strategy for the 1990s" sets out its future intentions for the area. Apart from the Development Board for Rural Wales, other sources of economic and industrial assistance are available to mid-Wales through the Wales tourist board, the Welsh Development Agency and central Government.
