HC Deb 16 January 1995 vol 252 c302W
15. Mr. Simon Hughes

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales what are his Department's priorities for 1995.

Mr. Redwood

Details will be in the Welsh Office departmental report, but some of my main priorities are: to further enhance the competitiveness of Welsh industry; to attract more private investment; to press on with work to dual the A465 and the A55 across Anglesey; to reduce waiting times in the NHS and to increase spending on direct patient care; to secure a smooth transition to the new structure of local government; to implement fully the revised national curriculum and develop pupil assessment; and to extend modern and accelerated apprenticeships.
