Mr. Ashley

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, pursuant to his answer of 4 June,Official Report, column 226, if he will specify which benevolent funds have received money from the Gulf trust; how much has been allocated to each; and if any advice or suggestions have been offered to these organisations about ways of distributing the money.

Mr. Archie Hamilton

Donations to the Gulf Trust are being passed to the three service benevolent funds—The King George's Fund for Sailors, the Army Benevolent Fund and the RAF Benevolent Fund. They will use this money to meet cases of need arising from the Gulf conflict in accordance with their established practices, and within the terms of their trust deeds and charity law.
