HC Deb 20 July 1981 vol 9 c30W
Mr. Charles Irving

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what is the current capital cost of a place in a hostel for alcoholics.

Sir George Young

This information is not available as the Department has ceased, since April, 1981, to approve grants towards the capital costs of voluntary organisations providing hostel places for alcoholics. In 1980–81 the maximum grant per place was £4,000.
