HC Deb 07 February 1972 vol 830 c288W
Mrs. Knight

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what reply he has sent to the request for a grant in aid of the work done by the Women's National Cancer Control Campaign.

Mr. Alison

We have received a request from the Women's National Cancer Control Campaign for financial assistance to enable them to extend their work. We have informed the Campaign that we are considering this application in consultation with the Health Education Council, the body responsible nationally for the carrying out of health education to whom we must look for advice in such matters.

Accommodation problems have caused temporary financial difficulties for the Campaign and as a short term remedial measure we have just offered them a grant of £2,000 towards the headquarters general administration costs.
