§ Mr. Foulkesasked the Secretary of State for Social Services whether any voluntary organisations currently receiving grants from his Department will receive reduced grants.
§ Mr. NewtonI shall circulate as soon as possible in theOfficial Report a list of those voluntary organisations which have received grants both this year and last, showing increases and decreases. Meanwhile, the hon. Member will wish to know that there has been no reduction 241W in the Department's planned expenditure in 1983–84 on its general scheme of grants to voluntary organisations under section 64 of the Health Services and Public Health Act 1968. This is expected to total nearly £10 million—an increase of 11 per cent. on expenditure in 1982–83.
