HC Deb 18 June 1992 vol 209 c625W
Mr. Dafis

To ask the President of the Board of Trade how much money has been allocated under the Better Environmental Awards for Industry scheme in each year since its establishment.

Mr. Maclean

I have been asked to reply.

The scheme is run by the Royal Society of Arts. My Department has made grants towards the RSA's scheme costs as follows:

£
1988–89 25,000
1989–90 29,200
1990–91 33,000
1991–92 150,000

The Department acted as a promoter of the Better Environment Awards for Industry scheme in its first year, 1987, but made no grant in that year towards scheme costs.
