HC Deb 22 May 1992 vol 208 c276W
Dr. Howells

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales if he will make a statement on changes in his Department's instructions to local authorities on the method of funding disabled facility grants.

Mr. Gwilym Jones

For 1992–93 £26.3 million has been provided for mandatory disabled facilities and other discretionary grants, on top of the normal housing programme for local authorities. This is to enable authorities to play their full part in providing packages of support best suited to meet the individual needs of disabled people in close liaison with social services departments, and others.

INMOS Ltd.

Mr. Flynn

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales what action he plans to take to secure the continuation of the fabrication in Newport, Gwent, of the transputer and other products of INMOS Ltd.

Mr. David Hunt

I have nothing to add to the answer I gave the hon. Gentleman on 11 May last.
