HC Deb 25 February 1981 vol 999 cc360-1W
Mr. Nelson

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department further to his answer to the hon. Member for Chichester on 5 February 1981, what was the estimated cost of the education services provided by the probation service; and what percentage of the probation budget this represented in the last year for which figures are available.

Mr. Mayhew

It is not the usual practice for probation and after-care committees to identify expenditure on the provision of education facilities in financial information submitted to the Home Office.
