§ Mr. Ernie Rossasked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will now increase the financial support to Tayside services liaison committee on alcoholism to discharge its work in providing community services for alcoholics.
§ Mr. John MacKayLiaison committees on alcoholism, such as the Tayside committee are non-executive bodies, which do not provide community services for alocholics or incur expenditure for that purpose at their own hand. My right hon. Friend does not pay grant to these bodies, but if the hon. Member has a particular proposal in mind I should be grateful for further information.
