§ 97. Mrs. Mannasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department how much money has been advanced to the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents to conduct home-safety propaganda, including formation of home safety groups, in 1951, 1952, 1953, 1954, and 1955; and what is his policy in relation to the future of the grant.
§ Major Lloyd-GeorgeGrants were made of £2,000 in the financial year 1951–52 and of £1,500 in 1953–54. A 111W grant of £1,500 is to be made in the current financial year and, subject to Parliamentary approval, in each of the two following years. When the Society was told in 1954 of the intention to resume an annual grant of £1,500 for three years, it was informed that it was made in order to enable the Society to extend the scope of its work so that it could be wholly maintained by voluntary subscriptions, and that in no circumstances would the grant be renewed after the end of the three-year period.
