§ Mr. Marksasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what grants his Department made to the National Federation of Community Organisations in 1978–79, 1979–80 and 1980–81; and what grants are proposed in future.
§ Mr. RaisonThe National Federation of Community Organisations does not receive a direct grant from the Home Office; it is partly funded from the grant-in-aid made by the Home Office to the National Council for Voluntary Organisations. The National Council for Voluntary Organisations plans to end its support in April 1982. Discussions are in train about possible funding thereafter.
