HC Deb 07 July 1989 vol 156 cc312-5W
Dr. Thomas

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales if he will list those voluntary bodies, organisations and projects assisted by his Department with grant aid in the financial year 1987–88, together with the amount and the statutory provision under which the grant was allocated.

Mr. Grist

I regret that full details of all voluntary bodies, organisations and projects receiving grant aid could be extracted from records of major schemes only at disporportionate cost, but the table shows the total grant paid to the voluntary sector under each scheme and relevant statute.
