HC Deb 22 January 1997 vol 288 c655W
Mr. Jon Owen Jones

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales what assessment his Department has made of the financial and social impact of The Stationery Office's proposals for the Cardiff print centre and Cardiff book shop; and if he will make a statement. [11343]

Mr. Hague

My Department has made no such assessment. There is a contract between the Arts Council of Wales and The Stationery Office in respect of the management of the Oriel bookshop in Cardiff. The provision of services under the contract is a matter for the Arts Council and The Stationery Office.
