HC Deb 08 November 1971 vol 825 c78W
63. Mr. John Morris

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what steps he is taking to promote campaigns and produce publicity material for home safety in Wales; and what grant he makes to the Wales Home Safety Committee for this purpose.

Mr. Coleman

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he will make a grant to the Wales Home Safety Committee.

Mr. Sharpies

The Government make an annual grant towards the costs incurred by the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents in promoting national home safety campaigns and producing appropriate publicity material throughout Great Britain. There is no separate grant for Wales and I understand from my right hon. and learned Friend the Secretary of State for Wales that none is at present contemplated. All local authorities have power to promote home safety in their own areas and to meet the expenditure involved.
