HC Deb 24 October 1985 vol 84 c200W
Mr. Barry Jones

asked the Secretary of State for Wales how much cash has been allocated to the Urdd for each of the last five financial years, and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Wyn Roberts

The information is as follows:

Grants made to Urdd Gobaith Cymru
Capital £ Revenue £
1981–82 140,000 53,260
1982–83 145,230 55,497
1983–84 80,000 56,496
1984–85 180,000 60,296
1985–86 196,000 62,236

I very much regret the serious position in which the Urdd has been placed as a result of the present industrial action by teachers.
