§ Mr. Barry Jonesasked the Secretary of State for Wales if he proposes to grant additional cash to the Royal 199W National Eisteddfod authorities for 1986 and 1987; what cash he has granted for each of the years since 1983; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. Wyn RobertsGrants to the Royal National Eisteddfod of Wales are allocated on an annual basis following discussions between our Department and Eisteddfod officials. We are not in a position to anticipate the likely level of grant for 1986–87 or 1987–88 before such discussions have taken place.
The grants awarded since 1983 are as follows:
£ 1982–83 170,000 1983–84 180,200 1984–85 150,000 1985–86 232,000
