HC Deb 02 November 1995 vol 265 c397W
Mr. Llwyd

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will list all grants given, and any future grants planned, by his Department to the Camden Hopscotch Asian women's group, indicating the amount and dates. [38131]

Mr. Kirkhope

From April 1992 to March 1995, the Home Office supported a project entitled training and employment opportunities for Bangladeshi women, which was run by the Hopscotch Asian women's centre. Payments of some £19,000, £32,000 and £38,000 in the three financial years were made under the ethnic minority grant to the Central London training and enterprise council, which acted on behalf of the Home Office in relation to the project.

The Home Office has agreed to pay grant to Kingsway college, under section 11 of the Local Government Act 1966, in respect of a project to be run by the college for two years in association with the Hopscotch Asian women's centre. The maximum potential grant cost is £25,000 in 1995–96, and £50,000 in 1996–97.
