HC Deb 04 February 1986 vol 91 cc138-9W
Mr. Forsyth

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will list in the Official Report the governmental agencies to which his Department gives grant aid which in turn provide financial support for voluntary bodies and organisations and the size of the grant so given in the last financial year for which figures are available.

Mr. Whitney

The Health Education Council is the only non-departmental public body funded by the Department which makes grants to voluntary organisations. The Health Education Council received £8.9 million in 1984–85 from the DHSS.
