HC Deb 14 July 1983 vol 45 c432W
Mr. Michael Forsyth

asked the Secretary of Slate for Scotland if he will list in the Official Report all the payments made in the last financial year by the Scottish Office to organisations and institutions associated with or representative of local government in Scotland.

Mr. Ancram

In the financial year 1982–83 the Scottish Office made one such payment—£6,000 to the employers' secretariat of the National Joint Councils for Local Authorities' Services (Scottish Councils) for work carried out by it in collecting local authority manpower statistics.
