§ Mr. Wallasked the Secretary of State for Defence what Government asistance is given to the Royal United Service Institution; why it has been reduced; and whether, in view of the valuable work done by the institute, he will reconsider his decision.
§ Mr. J. P. W. MallalieuThere has been no reduction in assistance. The present five year agreement provides for the payment to the Institution of £4,000 for each of the years 1962–63 to 1966–67 inclusive. The question of the payment of a grant in subsequent years is now the subject of discussion with the Institution.
