HC Deb 12 June 1974 vol 874 c556W
Mr. Tomlinson

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what is the present attitude of the Government to the work of the Citizens' Advice Bureaux; and what is the basis of Government financial support.

Mr. John Silkin

Citizens' Advice Bureaux are an essential part of the network of centers through which advice and information are provided on public and social services and on consumer affairs. Grants for the maintenance and extension of the work of the bureaus are given by local authorities to individual centers and by the central Government to the National Association of Citizens' Advice Bureaux.
