In addition, a large number of payments amounting to £1,241,700, were made to voluntary education bodies in 1984–85 under the provisions of the Education Acts 1944 and 1980. To list payments to individual bodies and to distinguish between payments made under each Act would involve disproportionate costs.

Mr. Michael Forsyth

asked the Secretary of State for Wales if he will list in the Official Report the governmental agencies to which his Department gives grant aid who in turn provide financial support for voluntary bodies and organisations, and the size of the grant so given in the last financial year for which figures are available.

Mr. Mark Robinson

The non-departmental public bodies in Wales for which we are responsible which provide financial support for voluntary bodies are listed as follows:

Government Funding 1984–85
£ million
Cwmbran Development Corporation 4.006
Development Board for Rural Wales 8.974
