HC Deb 09 February 1989 vol 146 c777W
Mrs. Roe

To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security if there are any further disbursements planned to charities following the error in the retail prices index.

Mr. Scott

Further to my reply to my hon. Friend the Member for Wells (Mr. Heathcoat-Amory) on 3 May 1988 at columns422–24, I am pleased to announce a further disbursement to charities of £2.8 million. My right hon. and learned Friend the Secretary of State for Scotland and my right hon. Friends the Secretaries of State for Wales and Northern Ireland will be making their own arrangements.

I have placed a list of those organisations that are to receive payments in the Library.
