§ 69. Mr. Frank CookTo ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what plans he has to increase spending on debt advice work.
§ Mr. ForthNone. My Department does not specifically fund debt advice much of which is provided by citizens advice bureaux, as part of their general service. DTI grant in aid to the National Association of Citizens Advice Bureaux and Citizens Advice Scotland, which provide the support services for individual citizens advice bureaux will amount to more than £11 million in 1990–91, compared with some £10 million last year. Individual bureaux are funded mainly by local authorities.
