No grants have been paid by my Department to regional game councils since 1982. A grant of £10,000 was paid to the National Association of Regional Game Councils in each of the years 1984 and 1985. There is no provision in the Revised Estimates of Public Expenditure for 1986 for the payment of a similar grant this year and the association have been informed accordingly.
