HC Deb 06 February 1981 vol 998 c233W
Mr. Kilroy-Silk

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department on what financial scale it is envisaged that the probation and after-care service will make provision for intermediate treatment schemes under the proposals in the White Paper on young offenders.

Mr. Mayhew

We shall be obtaining assessments of need from the service which will be taken into account in the Government's expenditure plans. It would then be for probation and after-care committees in conjunction with local authorities to determine the level of expenditure in their areas.
