Mr. William Ross

My right hon. Friend the Minister of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs indicated on 20th and 27th November that the Government have agreed to make a grant of £10,000 to the Women's National Commission to assist in the effective celebration of International Women's Year in the United Kingdom. I have no plans for the provision of separate financial assistance.
