Mr. State Secretary on the Under-State Secretary and the Head of Division II. bp 1941 Subject: Grants of the protectorate government to the churches. Process: Letter of September 4, 1943, St. S. 349/220/41. Attachments: All processes. On the occasion of the lecture on the household of the pro= tektorate on January 9, 1994 I explained which achievements of the Protectorate to the Churches in the household for l94l are foreseen=. I have pointed out that most of the benefits are based on a legal obligation (total benefits to all churches 63,938,000 K, of which K 55,315,800 are due to legal obligations and 8,623,000 K other benefits ), and I have proposed that the reduction in voluntary benefits be avoided. The Secretary of State has approved this proposal and decided that no objection should be made to the services to the churches.It has therefore been approved by the Protectorate's proposal for 194l without a reduction in these expenditures, and the approval has been notified to the Prime Minister by letter of 9 June 1994. The services provided by the churches are therefore not possible. However, in the examination of the supplementary budget for 1994l, any further voluntary benefits which the Protectorate administration should provide for beyond the amounts already approved for the year 1994l and, in accordance with the instructions, all the allowances for the budget for 1942 shall be paid free of charge= St. S.10-74/41
