§ Mr. Ieuan Wyn JonesTo ask the Secretary of State for Wales how much financial assistance will be offered to the craft initiative between April 1988 and March 1991; to which organisations this money has been distributed in Wales; and if he will give a detailed breakdown.
§ Mr. Peter WalkerFunds are provided towards the promotion of the craft industry from a wide range of public bodies which co–operate in the craft initiative. It is estimated that in financial year 1988–89 approximately £250,000 of public funds was devoted to promoting the crafts industry, and this is likely to rise to around £500,000 this financial year.
