HC Deb 27 April 1981 vol 3 c303W
Mr. Bright

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if, in the light of the successful juvenile crime prevention scheme operated in Bedfordshire, the Government will make additional funds available to extend crime prevention schemes throughout the community.

Mr. Mayhew

Crime prevention panels such as the junior panel at Luton make a valuable contribution by involving the community in crime prevention work. These panels are funded mainly by local police forces from money provided by central and local government for general police expenditure. It is for individual police authorities to decide the extent of this funding.
