§ Mr. Parryasked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will list in the Official Report the national child care organisations in England and Wales which have received Government funding in each of the past five years; and if he will list the amounts granted.
§ Mr. John PattenIt is difficult to identify precisely which voluntary organisations should be regarded as "national child care organisations" because of the diversity of interests many large voluntary bodies have. I refer the hon. Member to the replies of my hon. Friend on 14 December 1983 at columns509–516 and 22 June 1984 at columns 316–320 to the hon. Member for Carrick, Cumnock and Doon Valley (Mr. Foulkes) which listed all the grants given to voluntary organisations by this Department in 1982–83 and 1983–84.
