HC Deb 01 February 1980 vol 977 cc818-9W
Mr. Skeet

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will give his estimate of the grants likely to be made available by the Voluntary Service Unit to the following national organisations for the year 1979–80; the National Youth Bureau, the Community Service Volunteers, the National Association of Asian Youth, and the National Association of Youth Clubs (multiracial project).

Mr. Raison

Estimates of the grants to be made by the Voluntary Service Unit in the financial year 1979–80 are: National Association of Asian Youth, £28,400: National Youth Bureau, £84,402 (£72,140 for the Young Volunteer Resource Unit and £12,262 for the National Association of Young People's Counselling and Advisory Services). The final instalment of the grant for a limited action-research project under the National Association of Youth Clubs (on which work is now being completed) was paid in 1978–79. I will be writing to my hon. Friend about the grant to the Community Service Volunteers.
