§ Sir George YoungTo ask the Secretary of State for Social Services what financial assistance he has given to London Lighthouse.
§ Mr. NewtonThe Government intend to make a further grant of £750,000 towards the capital costs of London Lighthouse the West London hospice and community support centre for people with AIDS.
The London Lighthouse centre will provide much-needed community support and hospice care for people with AIDS. The Lighthouse has caught the imagination of many people, and has done extremely well to attract funds from so many sources.
The Government have already approved a grant of £500,000 towards the costs of the premises. This additional £750,000 will bring the total Government contribution to £1.25 million. This should enable London Lighthouse to open on time with its finances on a firm footing.
