§ Mr. Frank Fieldasked the Secretary of State for Transport if he will detail the grants given by his Department to each voluntary organisation during 1982–83; which of these had their grants reduced in 1983–84; and by how much.
§ Mr. RidleyThe voluntary organisations to which my Department made grants during 1982–83 were as follows:
£000 Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents 420 Community Transport 20 Medical Commission on Accident Prevention 6 British Motorcycle Safety Foundation 100 RAC/Auto Cycle Union Motorcycle safety scheme 43 British Motorcyclists Federation 10 Motorcycle Safety Campaign 1 Grants were not paid in 1983–84 to the four motorcycle organisations because the 1982–83 payments were either single payments or the final year of a series. There was no reduction in 1983–84 in the grants to other organisations.
