§ Mr. MaddenTo ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if there are any plans to increase the funding available for young people living in the United Kingdom to undertake Commonwealth and other international exchange visits; if he will take steps to ensure that the proposed Youth for Europe scheme maintains or increases opportunities for young people in Britain to undertake exchange visits; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. EggarThere are no plans to increase the available funds at present. Our aim is to ensure that any Youth for Europe programme complements the existing successful youth exchange programmes in the United Kingdom.
