Parliamentary Question answered yesterday:

Kelvin Hopkins [Labour MP for Luton North]: To ask the Secretary of State for Health how much was paid by his Department to Action on Smoking and Health in 2011-12; and how much his Department has allocated in 2012-13.

Anne Milton: Action on Smoking and Health (ASH) received funding of £150,000 in 2011-12 through the Department’s ’Section 64 General Scheme of Grants to voluntary and Community Organisations’. The Grant was awarded for a project to ’Work to support delivery of the Tobacco Control Plan for England’. ASH has made an application for funding in 2012-13 for a project proposal ’Supporting the Tobacco Plan for England 2012-13’. The Department is currently considering this application.

A letter to your MP go wouldn't amiss.
