HC Deb 12 April 1984 vol 58 cc378-9W
Mr. Peter Bruinvels

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what amount is intended to be given to the Brook advisory centre in the next financial year; how this compares with each of last five years; and whether he will make a statement.

Mr. Kenneth Clarke

We are considering an application for a three-year departmental grant, to run from 1 April this year. In the financial years 1979–80 and 1980–81 the grant was £21,000 and in the years 1981–82 to 1983–84 it averaged £29,000. The grants have been made to help meet the organisation's central office administration costs.
