HC Deb 17 May 1996 vol 277 c619W
Mrs. Clwyd

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales what allocation of RECHAR funds will be made available to Wales. [29464]

Mr. Gwilym Jones

£16.9 million has been allocated under the RECHAR II programme for Wales for the period 1994 to 1997. I expect that further resources will be allocated to the initiative from the recently announced additional moneys made available to the UK from the community initiatives reserve.
