HC Deb 15 April 1985 vol 77 cc9-10W
Mr. Murphy

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what funding is provided for the English national co-ordinating committee for International Youth Year 1985; what percentage is available for political campaigning; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Dunn

Grants to the committee, up to 31 March 1985, have amounted to £133,850, and a further £115,000 has been offered for 1985–86 subject to the normal conditions applicable to such grants. The committee undertakes a number of activities in connection with international youth year, and grant aid is not generally allocated for separate aspects of this work.
