§ Mr. Ron DaviesTo ask the Secretary of State for Wales what proposals he has to introduce an environmental grant fund for Wales in furtherance of policies set out in "This Common Inheritance" (Cm. 1200); and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. David HuntMy Department will in 1991–92 fund suitable projects from voluntary organisations in the Principality via the special grants (environmental) programme.
As my hon. Friend the Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for the Environment told the hon. Gentleman on 19 December 1990 the announcement by the Minister for the Environment and Countryside on that date gave details of his proposals to bring the new environmental grant fund scheme quickly into operation for 1991–92. I shall keep the position under review for next year.
