HC Deb 16 December 1977 vol 941 cc444-6W
Mrs. Chalker

asked the Secretary of State for Employment what grant his Department has made to voluntary bodies for their work, excluding that on the job creation programme, in each of the last three years; what is his estimate of any similar grants in 1977–78; and if he will detail current projects being so funded.

Mr. John Grant

The total amounts paid in respect of voluntary bodies as stated in the answer I gave the hon. Member on 11th November 1977—[Vol. 938, c. 2981—could only be broken down to individual private bodies at disproportionate cost.
