§ Mr. Peter Bottomleyasked the Secretary of State for Trade if he will list the names of voluntary organisations to which grants or loans are made by his Department, together with the amounts for the latest period if such information is available.
§ Mr. NottAll the organisations supported financially by my Department are shown, with the relevant sums, in the Department's Votes and appropriation accounts. The difficulty is to identify the voluntary organisations. This is not a formal or exact description and its applicability is a matter of choice rather than fact. All the bodies which receive funds from the Department are voluntary in some sense, but many of them do not, by the nature of their work, correspond very closely to what most people understand by "voluntary organisation".
