HC Deb 21 January 1982 vol 16 c190W
Sir Hector Monro

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what decision he has reached following the consultations on his proposal to bring to an end the Scottish Education Department's scheme of capital grants to local voluntary youth and community organisations from 1 April 1983 and to use the funds previously allocated for these grants to augment the urban programme.

Mr. Younger

Following consideration of the views expressed by hon. Members and by the organisations which have been consulted, I have reached the conclusion that financial support should continue to be made available as before to voluntary projects in both rural and urban areas. I am considering, however, whether improvements could be made in the administrative arrangements for the provision of this support.
