Mr. Freeman

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what changes in Government funding have occurred in 1984–85 and are planned for 1985–86 for the National Council for Care of Elderly Dependants; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. John Patten

We are currently considering an application from the council for a grant of £20,000 this year. We expect to reach a decision very soon.
