HC Deb 14 March 1994 vol 239 cc520-1W
15. Mr. Alex Carlile

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales what assessment he has made of the extent to which the average income of workers in Wales is compatible with his economic strategy.

Mr. Gwilym Jones

My right hon. Friend's strategy is based on improving standards of education and training; improving access to markets; and ensuring a good supply of development land and facilities for industry and commerce. The continuing success of this strategy should enable average earnings in Wales to increase still further.
