§ Mr. LlwydTo ask the Secretary of State for Wales if he will list the specific Welsh language projects which he has funded since 1987 under section 21 of the Education Act 1980; and what plans he has to fund further such projects.
§ Sir Wyn RobertsA wide variety of activities has been funded under section 21 of the Education Act 1980 since April 1987. These activities range from long-term programmes extending over many years to the production of a single school book. While it is not possible to define these important activities as separate projects, the list sets out all the organisations which have been funded under this scheme.
