HC Deb 31 January 2001 vol 362 c244W
Mr. Bercow

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what funding from(a) EU and (b) UK Government sources is available to the European Disability Forum; and when he last received representations from them. [147458]

Ms Hodge

I have been asked to reply.

The European Disability Forum received 750,000 euro from the European Commission for the period 1 April 2000 to 31 March 2001 plus 100,000 euro for co-ordination of the European Day of Disabled People. The provisional budget for 1 April 2001 to 31 March 2002 is 900,000 euro (inclusive of funding for the European Day of Disabled People 2001).

I am not aware of any UK Government funding for this organisation.
