HC Deb 16 December 1980 vol 996 c115W
Mr. Jim Callaghan

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what advice he gives, and what funds are available, to local police forces for crime prevention.

Mr. Brittan

The Home Office is in close touch with all police forces in England and Wales on crime prevention matters and exchanges information with them both direct and through the Home Office crime prevention centre. Funds for crime prevention work by police forces are provided by central and local government as a normal part of general police expenditure.
