§ Margaret HodgeThe Department does not directly monitor the number of projects in receipt of Children's Fund which deal with solvent abuse. Of the 4,665 projects in receipt of Children's Fund in the period July to September 2003 (the most recent period for which complete data is available) 398 were for services that worked in areas involving substance misuse. Other projects will work to educate and support children, young people and their families about the misuse of a range of substances, which in many cases will include solvents.
With regard to the funding that each of these projects receives, this information could be obtained only at disproportionate cost and so is not included in this reply.
