§ Mr. HainI refer my hon. Friend to the replies I gave to him on 25 March 1998,Official Report, column 172, and 20 May 1998, Official Report, column 417.
I understand that the owner of the premises has instructed agents to market the property with a view to finding a new occupier. The property has also been entered onto the Welsh Development Agency's North Wales property database and, if appropriate, is being put forward for any projects by potential inward investors or indigenous companies.
