HC Deb 08 December 1981 vol 14 c334W
Mr. Nicholas Winterton

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he has yet made a decision on the grant to the Voluntary Services Unit for 1981–82; and, if so, how much is to be allocated for this purpose.

Mr. Raison

The VSU as a division of the Home Office does not itself receive a grant, but at the discretion of Ministers is authorised to make grants to eligible voluntary organisations. Grants to the total of £2,625,291 have so far been authorised in 1981–82.
