asked the Secretary of State for Wales whether he has included in the WDA guidelines advice about setting up public enterprise manufacturing units in empty Government advance factories; and if he will make a statement.

I refer the hon. Member to the answer which my right hon. and learned Friend gave on 2nd February to a Question by the hon. Member for Pembroke (Mr. Edwards)—[Vol. 904. c. 509.]—We shall always be pre- pared to give consideration to any representations by the Welsh Development Agency for the allocation of a Government advance factory to one of its subsidiaries.
