HC Deb 23 November 1967 vol 754 c401W
63. Mrs. Joyce Butler

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what requests he has received for additional financial assistance for the Conservation Corps; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Denis Howell

None, Sir. I have invited the Corps, through the Council for Nature, to submit its application for grant for 1968–69. In the current financial year the Department is making a Headquarters Grant of £3,450 to the Corps and I understand that the Nature Conservancy have made a payment for work done of £1,500.
