HC Deb 19 June 1979 vol 968 c521W
Mr. Best

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services whether he plans to provide any more hostels for alcoholics; and if he will make a statement.

Sir George Young

The arrangements which were introduced in 1973 for grants to voluntary organisations providing such hostels continue until 31 March 1980. Voluntary organisations may, during this period, apply to my right hon. Friend's Department for capital and revenue grants in accordance with the current terms of the scheme.
