HC Deb 12 February 1948 vol 447 c106W
90. Mr. K. Lindsay

asked the Minister of Education whether since his Department ceased making annual grants to youth organisations and local education authorities subsidise these instead, there has been a decrease in assistance to these bodies.

Mr. Tomlinson

On the contrary, as a result of the change in policy, there has been a net increase in grant to local youth clubs of some £300,000 in the financial year 1946–47 compared with the previous year.
