HC Deb 09 June 1980 vol 986 c34W
Dr. Roger Thomas

asked the Secretary of State for Wales whether he intends to continue supporting financially the Cardiff Riverside institute for alcoholics.

Mr. Wyn Roberts

The Welsh Office's financial support to the South Wales Council on Alcoholism in respect of the original hostel places provided at Dyfrig House has been extended to 31 August 1980. Another extension will be granted if the council can show that it is taking substantive steps to arrange alternative sources of support and that there is a significant prospect of success in obtaining such support. The Welsh Office is prepared also to share support with those other sources until 31 March 1983.
