Written Answers. - National Parents' Council Funding.
The National Parents' Council is the only representative body of parents which receives funding from my Department. Since 1991, in accordance with a commitment in the Programme for Economic and Social Progress, an annual grant of £25,000 each has been paid to the primary and post-primary tiers of the council. I am pleased to state that the grant to each tier of the council will be increased to £30,000 for 1994.
