HC Deb 03 April 1978 vol 947 cc66-7W
Mr. Brotherton

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what is the total amount of public funds allocated to the European Youth Foundation in the current financial year; and for what purpose.

Mr. Joel Barnett

The total amount of public funds allocated to the European Youth Foundation in 1978–79 is £89,000. This is the amount agreed between member countries as the United Kingdom's share of the foundation's running costs. The purpose of the European Youth Foundation is to provide financial support for youth organisations engaged in activities designed to promote peace, understanding and co-operation between the people of Western Europe and the rest of the world.
