HC Deb 30 March 1999 vol 328 c597W
Mr. Wigley

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales if he will list the expenditure by(a) local authorities and (b) the WDA on the development of out of town retail parks in the last year for which figures are available. [78229]

Mr. Hain

Information on local authority expenditure on the development of out of town retail parks is not held by my Department.

No WDA expenditure has been put into such developments in the last year.

Following the transfer of functions, this issue will be a matter for the National Assembly.
