§ Mr. SpellarTo ask the Secretary of State for Social Security what grants have been made by his Department or its agencies to the National Council for One Parent Families in each year of the last five years.
§ Mr. BurtBetween 1991 and 31 March 1994 this Department provided £1 million to enable the National Council for One Parent Families to pilot return-to-work courses for lone parents and a consultancy action programme aimed at employers and other key organisations, which was designed to open up work opportunities for lone parents. In 1992 the child support unit—the forerunner to the Child Support Agency—paid about £4,000 to NaCOPF for expenses connected with a joint CSA/NaCOPF guide for lone parents who wished to return to work.
