To ask the Secretary of State for Wales what sum was ear-marked for allocation by his Department as the Welsh share of the central funding initiative for combating alcohol misuse; what sum has has (a) earmarked for each county in Wales, (b) granted to each county in Wales in respect of 1990–91, 1991–92 and 1992–93 and (c) how much was spent for each county in 1990–91; and how much has been spent so far in 1991–92.
The initiative to combat alcohol misuse in Wales is independent of other campaigns and there is therefore no Welsh share. As part of this initiative a recurring amount of £150,000 was made available in 1990–91 and a further £150,000 was added in 1991–92, also recurring. Funds are not "earmarked" for each county; bids are considered on their merits. In 1990–91, the individual projects funded were as follows:
