In relation to grant withdrawals, the table below shows the number and value of grants that have either been fully or partially withdrawn in each of the last 10 years.  Details of the grantee, grant purpose and reason for withdrawal is not readily available. To obtain this information would require a review of each  relevant file requiring significant time and resources. It is not proposed to prioritise such an exercise at this time.
