HC Deb 29 October 1990 vol 178 c356W
17. Mr. Jack

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales what initiatives, since 1980, his Department has taken to develop fully the potential of the north Wales economy.

Sir Wyn Roberts

Our Department has carried out a very wide range of activities to develop the potential of the north Wales economy. Details of the current initiatives and policies were set out fully in the document. "A55—The Road of Opportunity", in December 1989. The potential for developing the north Wales economy has been greatly increased by the huge improvements to road links in north Wales over the last 10 years, especially the £620 million investment in dualling the A55.
