HC Deb 13 June 1996 vol 279 c266W
Mr. Jon Owen Jones

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales what discussions he has had with the Secretary of State for Transport concerning the future of the south Wales traffic area office. [32288]

Mr. Gwilym Jones

My hon. Friend the Minister with responsibility for local transport has announced plans to restructure the traffic area offices, including the closure of the South Wales traffic area office in Cardiff. The decision to close the Cardiff office is regrettable, but I understand that it is necessary in order to make best use of limited resources.
