§ Mr. Pawseyasked the Prime Minister if she will give the total amount of grants made to tax receiving independent non-government organisations in 1986–87 and the likely amount in 1987–88.
§ The Prime Minister[pursuant to her reply, 2 July 1987, c. 144]: Such organisations would cover all bodies which are in the receipt of any tax rebates or exemptions, including nearly all commercial organisations, but would exclude some voluntary sector bodies. Information on grants made to these organisations is not held centrally and could be provided only at disproportionate cost.
§ Mr. Pawseyasked the Prime Minister what are the criteria used in awarding grants to tax receiving independent non-government organisations; and if she is satisfied that the taxpayer gets value for money.
