§ Mr. E. Rowlandsasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science why he refused to make a grant to the swimming club section of the Cardiff Mentally Handicapped Society; and, in view of the importance of this facility to the youth club of the society, whether he will reconsider his decision.
§ Mr. Denis HowellNo formal application for this project has been put to the Department. On the limited information available as a result of informal inquiries that were made by the Society, it appeared that the project would not be eligible for a grant. Arrangements are in hand for a meeting between officers of the Society and officers of the Department with a view to seeing if there is any basis on which assistance could be given.
