§ Mr. Tebbitasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what is the total amount spent from his Department's Vote on support of community relations councils and their work.
§ Mr. Alexander W. LyonExcluding urban aid, it is estimated that the Home Office grant-in-aid to the Community Relations Commission in 1975–76 will amount to about £2 million and that some £700,000 of this will have been spent by the Commission in direct support of local community relations councils and their work. In addition, one community relations council has received a direct grant from the Voluntary Services Unit amounting to £4,000 in 1975–76.
§ Mr. Tebbitasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what part of urban aid programme expenditure is spent through community relations councils or on community relations projects.
§ Mr. Alexander W. LyonAbout 1 per cent, of urban programme expenditure in 1974 was spent through community relations councils. Although many other urban programme projects are designed to benefit community relations more or less directly, it is not possible to identify the proportion of total urban programme expenditure spent specifically on "community relations" projects.
