§ Mr. Alec Jonesasked the Secretary of State for Wales how many places are available in Wales providing holidays for the disabled and chronic sick; and how many such people can be accommodated at any one time.
§ Mr. Peter ThomasInformation about holiday establishments specialising in catering for the disabled and chronic sick is not centrally available. I understand however that the newly formed Wales Council for the Disabled is considering the collection and dissemination of such information.
§ Mr. Alec Jonesasked the Secretary of State for Wales if he will list those organisations in Wales which receive Government grants to provide holidays for chronic sick and disabled people; and if he will give details of such grants.
§ Mr. Peter ThomasNo organisation in Wales receives a Government grant specifically for holidays for chronically sick and disabled persons, but county and county borough councils are empowered to assist such persons to take a holiday. The expenditure incurred ranks for the Rate Support Grant.
