HC Deb 18 June 1981 vol 6 cc411-2W
Dr Roger Thomas

asked the Secretary of State for Wales if he will make representations to the European Economic Community Commission over the grant to the Development Board for Rural Wales of £12,500 with the object of giving the whole of the rural areas in Wales fair treatment by he provision of a similar sum for areas outside the area covered by the development board.

Mr. Nicholas Edwards

No. The award by the European social fund reflects a decision by the European Commission to support a request by the Development Board for Rural Wales for grant for a pilot scheme.
