HC Deb 24 July 1986 vol 102 c400W
Mr. Meadowcroft

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what support he is giving to voluntary groups working with the victims and offenders of child abuse; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Mellor

The Home Office makes grants to a number of voluntary organisations offering a wide range of rehabilitative projects for offenders of all kinds, and provides funding both for local victims support schemes and their national association. Funding is also provided by the Department of Health and Social Security to a range of voluntary organisations in the child care field.
