§ Mr. Wigleyasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what was the level of assistance given by her Department directly or indirectly towards the Welsh Film Board.
§ Mr. Oakes£2,500 was allocated last year to the Board by the North Wales Association for the Arts. In the current financial year the Welsh Arts Council has allocated £23,000 to the Board. The size of these grants is determined locally, and they are made mainly with money deriving from the general grant made by my Department to the Arts Council of Great Britain and to the British Film Institute.
