HC Deb 11 May 1982 vol 23 c216W
Mr. Pawsey

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what bodies or organisations, for the day-to-day work or administration of which he does not answer parliamentary questions, receive finance from his Department's Vote.

Sir Keith Joseph

In addition to a wide variety of nonofficial bodies to which my Department gives grants, it is the sponsor Department for a number of executive bodies listed in "Non-Departmental Public Bodies; Facts and Figures 1981" which receive finance from my votes. While I answer questions on the general principles underlying these grants, I do not answer for their detailed administration.
