§ Mr. Barry Jonesasked the Secretary of State for Wales how much EEC butter and beef, by weight and estimated value, has been distributed and remains to be distributed and under what methods and principles, in each of the eight counties of Wales; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. Nicholas EdwardsProcurement of these products from appropriate sources, and distribution to individuals is being undertaken by charitable organisations. They are making the necessary local arrangements. Products must be distributed free of charge to the most needy for their own use. These include those on supplementary benefit and family income supplement; and other groups of people who are either homeless, living in hostels, attending feeding centres, receiving meals-on-wheels or very disadvantaged in other ways.

Schools having classes where Welsh is the sole or main medium of instruction 38 107 6 134 28 18 8 16 B. Schools having classes where some of the teaching is through the medium of Welsh 33 130 — 53 4 9 6 7 Note: At September 1985. The mode of instruction in primary schools varies widely according to linguistic background and a school may have classes in more than one category. However, each school appears once only in this Table, under the appropriate heading. Thus a school entered in line B as having classes where some of the teaching is through the medium of Welsh, does not have any classes where Welsh is the sole or main medium of teaching (line A).
Information on the number of all pupils attending the schools shown in the above table are not readily available.
However, figures in the following table indicate the number of pupils in classes where some or all of the teaching is through the medium of Welsh:
