§ Mr. Gareth WardellTo ask the Minister for the Arts if he will publish in theOfficial Report for (a) 1987–88 and (b) 1988–89 the percentage of Welsh Arts Council grants to drama in Wales which was allocated to (i) South Glamorgan and (ii) West Glamorgan.
§ Mr. LuceThe information requested is as follows:
South Glamorgan Per cent. West Glamorgan Per cent. 1987–88 33.5 2.0 1988–89 33.4 2.4 Historically, the majority of Welsh drama companies has been based in South Glamorgan; the Welsh Arts Council's allocations reflect that. However, six of the 11 organisations based in South Glamorgan tour extensively outside the county. The percentages relate to grants to companies and take no account of smaller specific grants such as new writing commissions and touring assistance.
