HL Deb 25 November 1997 vol 583 c111WA
Lord Stoddart of Swindon

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether the European Movement has received any money in the last three financial years from any Ministry or Government department for either educational purposes or in order to conduct an information campaign.

The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State, Foreign and Commonwealth Office (Baroness Symons of Vernham Dean)

No. Until 1985 the Government made grants of £30,000 a year to the European Movement. These were phased out over nine years, and the last grant of £10,000 was paid in January 1994.
