§ Dr. A GodmanTo ask the Secretary of State for Scotland what proposals he has to issue a leaflet for those persons who have suffered from criminal activities; and if he will make a statement.
§ Lord James Douglas-HamiltonThe Scottish Office funds Victim Support Scotland to deal with the interests of victims of crime. In 1995–96, this funding will rise 633W to £985,000. Victim Support Scotland already produces a number of leaflets to help those persons who have suffered from criminal activities. On 20 February 1995, a new booklet for victims of rape and sexual assault was launched in the presence of my noble and learned Friend the Minister of State. The Scottish Office was actively involved in its preparation and an additional grant of £8,000 was made to defray costs.
