§ Mr. D. E. Thomasasked the Secretary of State for Wales how many grants have been awarded in each year since 1974 under section 7 of the Local Employment Act 1972; and to which authorities.
§ Mr. Nicholas EdwardsInformation about the number of grants awarded each year is published in the annual report presented to Parliament pursuant to section 16 of the Industry Act 1972 by the Secretaries of State for Industry, Scotland and Wales.
Since 1974 grants have been awarded to local authorities, water authorities, water companies, public corporations and private developers. To identify and list the recipients of individual grants since then would involve disproportionate cost and time.
