HC Deb 21 July 1981 vol 9 c76W
Mr. Wigley

asked the Lord Privy Seal if he will consider reinstituting for 1982–83 the £3,000 grant which was paid for many years by the Overseas Development Administration to the Welsh Centre for International Affairs.

Mr. Neil Marten

I have considered the case for reinstituting the ODA grant for the Welsh Centre for International Affairs, but in the light of the many claims on the aid programme I regret that I am unable to continue to provide funds for this centre.
