HC Deb 03 June 1985 vol 80 c97W
Mr. Squire

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what funding his Department has given in each year since 1979 to (a) international year of the child, (b) international year of the disabled and (c) international youth year.

Mr. John Patten

The Department has supported a wide range of projects and initiatives connected with the international year of the child, the international year of the disabled, and international youth years through, for example, grants to voluntary organisations, funding of conferences, publications and research and the servicing of co-ordinating committees; I regret that this expenditure cannot, however, be separately identified.
