HC Deb 11 April 1984 vol 58 c263W
Mr. Wigley

asked the Secretary of State for Wales what is his long-term policy towards the funding of women's aid groups in Wales.

Mr. Wyn Roberts

Our general policy towards all social services related voluntary organisations is that grants under section 64 of the Health Services and Public Health Act 1968 are used to assist national voluntary organisations with their core administration costs and the Department has assisted Welsh Women's Aid in this way each year since 1977. Organisations of more local scope and local affiliates of national bodies are advised to seek support from local sources.
