HC Deb 09 July 1981 vol 8 c197W
Mr. D. E. Thomas

asked the Secretary of State for Wales what grant his Department makes to the Health Education Council; and what is that sum per head of population in Wales.

Mr. Wyn Roberts

The Welsh Office contribution to the expenses of the Health Education Council is expected to be £289,000 in 1981–82 which is equivalent to 10.4p per head of population in Wales.

Mr. D. E. Thomas

asked the Secretary of State for Wales if the Health Education Council qualifies for a grant under section 21 of the Education Act 1980 for the translation of material from English into Welsh.

Mr. Wyn Roberts

An application from the council would qualify for consideration for grant under section 21. Any such application will be considered taking into account the nature of the project, the availability of existing grant resources, and competing claims for grant.
