Mr. Elystan Morgan

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science when she hopes to be able to announce her policy with regard to the financing of local projects of an educational nature, particularly the making of grants for the erection and improvement of village halls.

Mrs. Thatcher

Discussions with the local authority associations and national voluntary organisations about grants to voluntary youth projects, village halls and community centres are still in progress, but I hope to be in a position to make a statement fairly soon.

Mr. Elystan Morgan

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science how many applications are at the moment lodged with her Department for grants for the erection or improvement of village halls in England and Wales, respectively.

Mr. van Straubenzee

342 and 30, respectively.
