§ Mr. Wrightasked the Secretary of State for Scotland why the Government has refused to renew its grant to Community Service Volunteers at a time when it is increasing the grants to other voluntary organisations.
§ Mr. RossI have not made any such refusal. The Community Service Volunteers have a grant from me of £1,000 a year towards the salary and expenses of their Field Officer in Scotland for an experimental period of three years to 31st May, 1970. The question of renewal will only arise then. Assistance to Community Service Volunteers for their work in England and Wales is a matter for my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Education and Science.
