§ Mr. WigleyTo ask the Secretary of State for Wales if he will make it his policy that the budget of the Welsh Office and the Welsh Development Agency for securing inward investment projects and developing indigenous industry in locations in Wales outside the M4 corridor in south-east Wales will not be reduced or restricted as a result of the LG project at Newport; and if he will make a statement.

§ Mr. HagueI will make decisions on future budgets later in the year in the usual way as part of the public expenditure survey, taking into account the total amount available to me in my block and the various demands upon it, including the need to promote and encourage economic development across all parts of Wales.
