§ Mr. Pawseyasked the Secretary of State for Transport if he will list the non-official bodies to which his Department made grants in the last financial year; and how much was paid to each.
§ Mr. David HowellMy Department incurred expenditure in 1981–82 in respect of the organisations listed under "Department of Transport" in "Non-Departmental Bodies; Facts and Figures 1981". In the case of the National Ports Council, which ceased to exist on 1 December 1981, £57,000 was funded by the Government and my Department's other expenditure was £54,000. An analysis of my Department's expenditure on advisory bodies and tribunals is not yet available but is expected to be on a level similar to that of 1980–81.
Grants to other bodies were as follows:
£ RoSPA 382,000 RAC 94,000 Motor Insurers Bureau 37,000 Chartered Institute of Transport 5,000
