Thank you for your letter of 6 February.
I have told our Parliamentary Under Secretary of State, Mr Marcus Fox, of the
Management Committee's generous offer of assistance and he has asked me to thank
you for this most thoughtful and spontaneous demonstration of concern.
We propose to distribute your donation, with the relief provided by the
Commission of the European Communities, to the district councils in South West
England who will in turn distribute it to the householders in their areas whose
dwellings were flooded. In this way the people who suffered the distress and
hardship will have tangible evidence of sympathy.
I hope this proposal will be acceptable to your Coimnittee,

On behalf of the United Kingdom Govemment and, in particular, the
Secretary of State for Wales, I am writing to thank you for your letter
of 5 February telling me that the Bank have decided to make a grant of
£10,000 for relief expenditure to help those who suffered during the
recent floods in South Wales.
This help from the Bank will, I know,
be greatly appreciated by the people whose homes were flooded.
I see no problem in distributing the money in the way you suggest as with the help made available by the Commission of the European
Communities, it will all be used for direct assistance to the people most
severely affected.
We should like to make a public announcement about the Bank's
generous gesture and are considering how this can best be done.
I will
keep you informed of the action we are taking.
