HC Deb 04 December 1984 vol 69 c99W
Mr. Pawsey

asked the Secretary of State for Defence if he will list all grants made by his Department to voluntary organisations, giving both the recipient and the amount, together with the date a grant was first made.

Mr. Butler

I refer my hon. Friend to the full list of grants-in-aid payable by the Ministry of Defence which appears in Vote 1, section K of the defence Estimates 1984–85, and also to the same section of the revised estimates (14 June 1984). As recently announced by my right hon. Friend, the Minister of State for the Armed Forces, it is our intention, subject to parliamentary approval, to introduce an additional grant-in-aid for the Royal British Legion in 1985–86 with the object of financing visits by war widows to their husbands' graves overseas.
