HC Deb 22 June 1978 vol 952 c301W
Mr. Kilroy-Silk

asked the Secretary of State for Trade what grant and assistance would be available from his Department if Merseyside County Council was to be the host of the 1988 Olympics.

Mr. Meacher

At present my Department has no special funds available for projects of this kind. The English Tourist Board, which is grant-aided by my Department, can provide discretionary financial assistance, from the modest resources available under Section 4 of the Development of Tourism Act 1969, to projects that will provide or improve tourist amenities and facilities.
