HC Deb 29 March 1999 vol 328 cc508-9W
Mr. Livsey

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales if he will publish a detailed breakdown of Welsh budget provision for(a) 1999–2000, (b) 2000–01 and (c) 2001–02 under the Social Inclusion Programme. [78771]

Mr. Michael

I announced allocations for a dedicated Social Inclusion Programme in December 1998. The amounts are set out:

£ million
1999–2000 8.0
2000–01 10.0
2001–02 30.0

There are many other budgets across the range of Welsh Office programmes that also contribute to the objective of fostering social Inclusion.

Following the transfer of functions, this issue will be a matter for the National Assembly for Wales.
