§ Mr. Alfred Morrisasked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will be seeking at least to maintain, in real terms, the financial support now being given to voluntary organisations by his Department; and if he will make a statement.
§ Sir George YoungYes. There will be no reduction in the total level of grants provided for in this financial year to voluntary organisations, and I shall continue to support them at as high a level as possible having regard to the economic circumstances and the Government's strategy on cash limits for public expenditure.
