HC Deb 28 February 1984 vol 55 c153W
29. Mr. Colvin

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what help his Department proposes to give in the fiscal year 1984–85 to the National Playbus Association.

Mr. Newton

We awarded the National Playbus Association (NPA) a three-year grant of £35,000 a year from 1983–84 towards its central administrative costs. We will also be providing £124,800 in 1984–85 as part of our under-fives initiative, £20,000 of which is allocated to meet administration and monitoring costs incurred by NPA centrally.
