§ Lord Stoddart of Swindonasked Her Majesty's Government:
Whether, following the answer of Baroness Chalker of Wallasey on 20 March (WA 56), they are prepared to consider applications from other all-party groups concerned with European affairs for one-off grants of £10,000 to help attract corporate sponsorship; and, in particular, whether they will consider with care such applications from groups promoting ideas more closely aligned to declared government policy than those of the European Movement.
§ Baroness Chalker of WallaseyYes. We are prepared to consider applications, but have not made any such grants since 1993.
