To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what was the total sum of public money provided to (i) Help the Aged and (ii) Age Concern over the most recent 12 month period for which figures are available. [48697]

Mr. Michael

The most recent period for which figures held centrally by the Home Office are available is the 12 months to March 1995. In that period, central Government provided funding of £331,906 to Help the Aged and £2,472,980 to Age Concern.

I will write to the hon. Member with more up-to-date figures.
