asked the Secretary of State for Wales what bodies or organisations, for the day-to-day work or administration of which he does not answer parliamentary questions, receive finance from his Department's Vote.

In addition to the wide variety of non-official bodies to which my Department gives grants, it is the sponsor Department for a number of executive bodies listed in "Non-Departmental Public Bodies; Facts and Figures 1981", which receive finance from my votes. While I answer questions on the general principles underlying these grants, I do not answer for their detailed administration.
