Mr. McMaster

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland which voluntary organisations for deaf people have been awarded grants by his Department in each year since 1990; what commitments he has made for the financial year 1994–95; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Stewart

[holding answer 29 April 1994]: The following voluntary organisations have been awarded grants over the period 1990–91 to 1994–95.

For 1994–95 I was particularly pleased to be able to offer funding to the Scottish Association of Sign Language Interpreters and the Scottish Association for the Deaf on a three-year basis; to offer an additional grant to Sense Scotland towards the establishment of a day centre at Overbridge centre for children and young adults with multiple handicaps and to offer the Royal National Institute for Deaf People a three-year grant towards the development of a network of communication support units in Scotland. In addition to the organisations listed, funding is also provided to a wide range of voluntary organisations for people with physical disabilities which also have regard to the needs of deaf people.
