§ Mr. Montgomeryasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what are the Government's future intentions for grants made by her Department towards voluntary community centre and village hall capital projects.
§ Mrs. ThatcherThe future of these grants will be considered in parallel with those made to voluntary youth service projects. I shall consult local authority associations and the voluntary bodies with the object of simplifying present 299W procedures, securing more local participation and diverting part of the funds available towards deprived areas.
