§ Mr. Durantasked the Secretary of State for Social Services what is the status of any relationship between Her Majesty's Government and the International Union for Health Education; whether it is in receipt of public funds and, if so, what is the amount of any such contribution; and if the policies advocated by the union reflect those of the Department of Health and Social Security and the Health Education Council.
§ Mr. Geoffrey FinsbergThere is no direct Government relationship with the International Union of Health Education, but I understand that the Health Education Council, which is mainly Government62W financed, is represented on the union's executive committee and pays an annual subscription, currently of £1, 700.
The union's broad aim of promoting health education is one to which both this Government and the Health Education Council attach great importance.
