HC Deb 21 November 1979 vol 974 c174W
Mr. Delwyn Williams

asked the Secretary of State for Wales what change is proposed in the WO2 cash limit to enable financial assistance to be provided for the Royal National Eisteddfod of Wales.

Mr. Nicholas Edwards

The WO2 cash limit has been increased by £70,000 to £441,971,000, which takes into account the adjustment of an error in Cmnd. 7604. This change involves no additional public expenditure as the amount has been met from within the planned total of public expenditure within my responsibility. As I indicated in my answer to my hon. Friend the Member for Brecon and Radnor (Mr. Hooson) on 26 October, a Supplementary Estimate will be presented to Parliament in due course.—[Vol. 972, c.314.]
