Mr. Ieuan Wyn Jones
To ask the Secretary of State for Wales how much was spent on coastal defences in Wales in 1997; and what are the estimated figures for 1998. [31369]
Mr. Win Griffiths
The information requested is not collected centrally. However, the expenditure on capital schemes receiving grant assistance from the Welsh Office was £3.032 million during the financial year 1996–97 and is estimated to be just over £3 million again during the financial year 1997–98. These figures include expenditure on both coast protection and sea defence.
