§ Mr. GouldTo ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will list for each local authority those voluntary organisations in receipt of section 11 funding, money from crime prevention schemes or any other projects administered by his Department.
§ Mr. John Patten[holding answer 22 June 1990]: Under present arrangements, section 11 funding may be paid only to local authorities. Although posts funded in this way may be based in voluntary organisations no collected information is kept of such posts.
Grants under the safer cities programme are currently made in 16 local authority areas and I will write to the hon. Member with a list of the voluntary organisations that have received funding to date.
Most Home Office grants to voluntary organisations and projects are not allocated by reference to local authority area. The latest available information about Home Office grants was given by my right hon. Friend the Prime Minister in reply to a question from my hon. Friend the Member for Harlow (Mr. Hayes) on 11 May at column 254.
