asked the Secretary of State for Wales what is the constitution of the task force designed to deal with the problem of redundant disabled miners in South Wales; how many times they have met; and what proposals have been made.

The Panel set up by the Welsh Economic Council in January to examine industrial and employment problems consists of five members of the Council. Its Chairman is Mr. M. W. Rosser. It has held five formal meetings and I am expecting a report from it on the employment problems of South Wales shortly.
