§ Mr. WigleyTo ask the Secretary of State for Wales, between 1979 and 1989, how many local authorities in south and west Wales have applied for Welsh Office financial assistance for villages threatened by landslides and landslips which have not been directly caused by mining; how much money has been granted per annum by his office on such schemes, and if he will list them.
§ Mr. Wyn RobertsThe Department has no powers to give financial assistance for villages threatened by landslides and landslips, but it can advise local authorities on financing necessary works.
