§ Mr. Peter Bottomleyasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he will list all non-statutory bodies to which his Department has made grants for 1981–82 and 1982–83, showing the name of the organisation, the amount of grant and the powers under which the grant is made; and if he will give similar information for grant-aid by other statutory bodies for which his Department is responsible.
§ Sir Keith JosephThe Supply Estimates for 1982–83 made provision for grants by the Department to bodies, other than United Kingdom public sector bodies, in certain subheads in class X, Votes 1, 2 and 13 and 16 to 23. The estimates also indicate provision made in 1981–82. The grants are made either under specific statutory authority or on the authority of the Appropriation Act, but it would require disproportionate effort and expense to list all recipients of grant aid from statutory bodies for which the Department is responsible.
