§ Mr. Meadowcroftasked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he is compiling information on voluntary organisations which have lost their funding following abolition of the West Yorkshire metropolitan county council; and if he will make a statement.
§ Sir George YoungResponsibility for grants to voluntary organisations transferred on abolition to the district councils, and we have no plans to collect information centrally about such grants. However, we have received no evidence that abolition has given rise to serious problems for voluntary organisations previously funded by the West Yorkshire metropolitan county council.
