HC Deb 04 July 1990 vol 175 c578W
Mr. Alan W. Williams

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales if he will consider giving financial assistance to the myalgic encephalomyelitis committee in Wales.

Mr. Grist

The association received £5,000 grant aid from the Department in 1988–89 and £7,500 in 1989–90, but returned £2,500 of the latter following the resignation of the officer whose post had been supported. No formal application for further grant has been received, but any future applications would be carefully considered.
