HC Deb 16 July 1986 vol 101 c535W
44. Mr. Kirkwood

the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry whether he has any plans to increase the funds available for the services provided by citizens advice bureaux.

Mr. Howard

My Department's grants both to the national and Scottish associations of citizens' advice bureaux have increased substantially in recent years. In deciding future levels of funding, I will take into account the needs of the two associations and the resources at my disposal.
