HC Deb 08 December 1997 vol 302 cc450-1W
Mr. Barry Jones

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales when he last met the Chairman of the Welsh Development Agency to discuss job creation in Alyn and Deeside. [19534]

Mr. Hain

My right hon. Friend regularly meets the Chairman of the Welsh Development Agency to discuss a range of issues. The creation and safeguarding of jobs in Wales continues to be a priority for the Agency and I know that the Chairman has recently visited Alyn and Deeside constituency and met my hon. Friend and representatives of the workforce and management of the British Aerospace plant to discuss their expansion plan.
