HC Deb 04 April 1967 vol 744 cc25-6W
Mr. Gwynfor Evans

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he will state the extent of Government financial assistance towards the encouragement of Welsh sport in each of the last three years.

Mr. Denis Howell

A majority of the sports bodies in receipt of grant cover both England and Wales so that separate figures for Wales are not available. Separate grants to Welsh voluntary sport bodies were as follows: 1964–65—£23,000; 1965–66—£77,000; 1966–67—£68,000. In the last of these years further offers of grant totalling £5,350 were made to take effect on the appointment of coaching administrators.
