§ Mrs. Helen JacksonTo ask the Secretary of State for Employment what applications have been received for core funding for the National Alliance of Women's Organisations(a) last year and (b) in the current year; and how much money has been paid.
§ Miss WiddecombeSince 1992 there have been a number of applications by, or on behalf of, the National Alliance of Women's Organisations for core funding. This resulted in the payment of a £20,000 grant during the 1992–93 financial year.
After careful consideration, as part of the Government's overall review of public expenditure, it was explained, with some regret, that further funding for the organisation would not be possible.
