§ Mr. MichaelTo ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what was the level of funding from his Department for voluntary advice services for the financial year 1993–94 and each of the previous 10 years; and how many schemes received funding in each year.
§ Mr. Peter LloydFigures for 1993–94 are not yet available. Figures for the financial years 1989–90 to 1992–93 are given in the table. These indicate the number of schemes run by voluntary organisations where the main 457W aims included the provision of advice and information and show the level of Home Office funding. Figures for earlier years could be obtained only at disproportionate cost.
