HC Deb 15 March 1965 vol 708 c216W
Mr. Marcus Lipton

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what was the number of convictions for drunkenness, and convictions for the age groups under 18 years and between 18 and 21 years, in the Metropolitan Police district, and in the City of London, respectively, during the calendar year 1964.

Miss Bacon

In the financial year 1962–63 the amount was £33,660. For 1963–64 the grants were increased to £46,375 and the voluntary organisations were informed, so that they might plan accordingly, that the grants would remain at this figure for the two following years.

My right hon. Friend is considering the report of the Lord Chancellor's Advisory Committee, and he will be consulting the organisations concerned about the provision that should be made for the period beginning with the financial year 1966–67.
