HC Deb 24 January 1992 vol 202 cc364-5W
Mr. Gwilym Jones

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales what household electrical goods are currently made in Wales; what steps he is taking to promote this industry; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. David Hunt

The main household electrical goods currently made in Wales are as follows:

  • Colour televisions
  • Video cassette recorders
  • CD/Hi-Fi systems
  • Microwave ovens
  • Washing machines
  • Dishwashers
  • Tumble dryers

In the case of colour televisions, video recorders, microwave ovens and washing machines production in Wales accounts for over 50 per cent. of the total United Kingdom output.

I continually refer to the strengths of Welsh industry in my discussions with various industrialists and organisations both here and overseas.
