§ 14. Mr. Hoosonasked the Secretary of State for Wales if he will now raise the grant on rural water supplies in Wales from the £585 per property at which the grant was assessed in 1973 to £1,240 per property, which would now be its equivalent, in view of the fact that the smallness of the grant in relation to the cost of construction is now hampering the extension of rural water supplies in Wales.
§ Mr. Alec JonesThe question of an increase in the level of grant is under consideration.
