HC Deb 20 January 1997 vol 288 cc502-3W
28. Mr. Llwyd

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales what steps he will take to ensure equity of distribution of job-creating inward investment between the east of Wales and the west of Wales; and if he will make a statement. [9935]

Mr. Hague

I will continue to work hard for the whole of Wales. Decisions on location are ultimately a matter for the companies concerned. I have, however, set targets for the Welsh Development Agency and the Development Board for Rural Wales to attract investment to areas outside the east of Wales.
