HC Deb 16 February 1971 vol 811 c435W
Mr. Gwynoro Jones

asked the Secretary of State for Wales how much money has been allocated for historic buildings and ancient monuments in Wales from 1970–71 to 1974–75 out of the totals provided on page 42 of the White Paper, Command Paper No. 4578; and how these figures compare with those in Command Paper No. 4234.

Mr. Peter Thomas

Out of the totals in table 2.20 on page 42 of the White Paper on Public Expenditure (Cmnd. 4578) the only expenditure separately identifiable for Wales and reflected in Table 2.23 of the White Paper represents grants by the Secretary of State in respect of historic buildings in Wales as follows:

£ million
1970–71
1971–72 0.1
1972–73 0.1
1973–74 0.1
1974–75 0.1

Expenditure on the upkeep of ancient monuments is not separately identifiable for Wales.

No comparable figures related to Cmnd. 4234 can be given because neither White Paper identifies expenditures which, rounded as appropriate, are less than a tenth of a million pounds.
