HC Deb 22 March 1984 vol 56 c525W
Mr. Robinson

asked the Secretary of State for Wales whether funds will be made available to enable the opportunities for volunteering scheme in Wales to continue in 1984–85.

Mr. Wyn Roberts

The scheme in Wales is proving to be successful in bringing much needed support to local voluntary initiatives which encourage volunteers, especially unemployed people, to play an active part in helping to meet the needs of their communities. Accordingly we are allocating a further sum of £110,000 to allow the scheme to continue in 1984–85.
