Mr. Gordon Wilson

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what grants are made to assist the work of the British Youth Council in the United Kingdom, England and Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland, respectively.

My Department has recently given the British Youth Council a grant of some £17,000 to undertake a programme of social and political education for young people in England and Wales. The Department has no power to assist such work in Scotland or Northern Ireland.
