HL Deb 04 March 1996 vol 570 cc3-4WA
Lord Lyell

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether a decision has been reached on the allocation to voluntary bodies of grants under the Special Grants (Environmental) Programme in 1996–97.

The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State, Scottish Office (The Earl of Lindsay)

I am pleased to have been able to offer 53 individual grants totalling £450,000 to 46 voluntary bodies in Scotland to assist them in carrying out their valuable environmental conservation, improvement and education work. The sums available in the Special Grants (Environmental) Programme in 1996–97 match those available in 1995–96. This continued level of support reflects the Government's commitment to the voluntary sector, and its role in carrying out the Government's environmental objectives.
