HC Deb 06 December 1978 vol 959 cc702-4W
Mr. Kilroy-Silk

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what is the total sum of money allocated in 1978–79 for services for alcoholics.

Mr. Moyle:

Health and local authorities provide services for alcoholics as part of the full range of their services, and their alcohol-related expenditure cannot be separately identified. My Department's grants to voluntary organisations providing community services for alcoholics amount to some £800,000 in 1977–78.

Mr. Kilroy-Silk

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will list the grants given to organisations for providing hostels for alcoholics in the last year.

Mr. Moyle:
