§ Mr. John MorrisThe Development of Tourism Act 1969 provides powers for me to assist tourism through a grant-in-aid to the Wales Tourist Board and enables the board to give financial assistance to selected tourist projects, including hotels and recreational facilities for tourists. The Physical Training and Recreation Act 1937 enables me to assist with the expenses of a local authority or voluntary organisation in providing facilities for physical training and recreation. The Appropriation Acts enable me to grant-aid the Sports Council for Wales, which in turn gives grants to sports clubs and local authorities for the provision of sports facilities.
