National Marriage Guidance Council (Grant)

Mr. St. John-Stevas
asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what grant was made to the National Marriage Guidance Council for the year 1976–77; and how this level of grant was calculated.

Mr. Merlyn Rees
£265,000, the same as in 1975–76 and 1977–78. The grants for this three-year period had regard to the council's estimates of the amount by which its income from other sources would fall short of the sum needed to maintain its activities.
