HC Deb 20 May 1976 vol 911 cc729-30W
Mr. Craigen

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs whether he will increase the grant to the British Youth Council for 1976–77.

Mr. Luard

As my right hon. Friend stated in a written reply on 2nd December, it was envisaged that the grant to the British Youth Council in 1976–77 would be £9,000. It has now proved possible to make available to the British Youth Council an additional £4,500 this year to meet the cost of a number of specific projects for exchanges and activities in Western Europe.
