HC Deb 23 January 1989 vol 145 c430W
15. Mr. Gwilym Jones

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales what was the income and expenditure involved for the commemoration of the translation of the Bible into Welsh and the "Travels of Gerald of Wales"; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Wyn Roberts

The Welsh Office contributed £25,000, over a three-year period, to support the work of the committee which co-ordinated arrangements for the numerous events to mark the 400th anniversary of the Welsh translation of the Bible. Celebration of the 800th anniversary of the travels of Gerald of Wales involved a number of events, including a major exhibition at the national museum of Wales. The final income and expenditure figures will take some time to establish.
