HC Deb 13 November 1947 vol 444 c114W
Mr. Skinnard

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies what requests for financial assistance have been made by the organisation entitled "The Barbados Youth Movement" to the government of the Colony; and why no official recognition has been accorded nor grants made.

Mr. Rees-Williams

No such requests have been received by the Barbados Government. The Governor reports that the Social Welfare Officers did their best to assist the organisation, but that in the light of the full reports from these officers, it has been decided that in present circumstances no official encouragement should be given to it.
