Mr. Millan

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will give details of the amounts of grant paid over the last year by the Government to church organisations for youth work in Scotland and in Glasgow, respectively.

Mr. Noble

In the year to 31st October, 1963, £2,900 was paid in grants to the national headquarters of church organisations towards expenditure on general youth work. £1,830 was also paid to local units, none of which were in Glasgow, under a temporary scheme for central grants for capital projects to supplement grants from education authorities. This sum represented the first instalments of capital grants to church organisations approved during the year, amounting to £15,150, including £7,000 for two projects in Glasgow.
