HC Deb 20 February 1992 vol 204 c241W
Mr. Edwards

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales what is the current level of funding to the Sports Council for Wales; what proportion it represents of total Welsh Office expenditure; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Nicholas Bennett

Grant-in-aid to the Sports Council for Wales for the current financial year is £5.2 million. This represents just under 0.1 per cent. of the forecast outturn—£5,286 million—for total Welsh Office expenditure as published in Cm. 1916.

Welsh Office support is also given to other bodies in respect of specific sports-related projects under the urban programme, rural initiative and PRNI—projects of regional and national importance—and SP—special projects—schemes.
