HC Deb 28 July 1972 vol 841 cc397-8W
Mr. Marten

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs how the sum of £15,000 was calculated for a grant to Europa Nostra; and if he will explain the purpose of this organisation.

Mr. Anthony Royle

Her Majesty's Government believe that a grant of £15,000 is an appropriate amount to assist British amenity societies to increase their contacts with their Western European counterparts through Europa Nostra. Europa Nostra is an international federation embracing all the principal nongovernmental organisations working for urban and natural conservation in Western Europe.
