asked the Secretary of State for Wales if he will list the grants made by the Wales Tourist Board to hotels in Wales in 1978–79 and so far in 1979–80; if he will list details of any hotels that received grants which have gone into bankruptcy in 1978–79 and 1979‒80.

The Wales Tourist Board assisted 46 hotel projects in 1978–79 and 41 in 1979–80—up to 29 February—with grants totalling £885,000 and £430,000 respectively. It is not the board's practice to release details of individual schemes assisted but it is considering amending the terms and conditions of assistance to enable such information to be published. No hotel which received grant has gone into bankruptcy in this period.
