§ Sir Andrew BowdenTo ask the Secretary of State for Health what contributions her Department has made in 1994 to follow up the European Year of Older People and Solidarity between Generations in 1993.
§ Mr. BowisThe Department funded an evaluation seminar and will shortly be publishing a report on the Year. This will include the results of an evaluation by an independent consultant whose recommendations we shall consider carefully.
We have provided £20,000 towards a new voluntary sector team—the United Kingdom European resource unit—to take forward the work of the year.
