HC Deb 06 March 1984 vol 55 cc552-3W
Mr. Frank Field

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he will detail the grants given by his Department to each voluntary organisation during 1982–83; which of these had their grants reduced in 1983–84; and by how much.

Sir Keith Joseph

A list of voluntary organisations receiving grants from the Department in 1982–83 was set out in my reply to a question from my hon. Friend the Member for Exeter (Mr. Hannam) on 29 November 1982, at c. 70–72. In addition, grants were awarded to the following three organisations after November 1982:

£
Organisation for Rehabilitation through Training 12,000
Design Council 10,000
National Out of School Alliance 3,000

Of the bodies receiving grants in 1982–83, the following had smaller grants in 1983–84:
