HC Deb 09 April 1984 vol 58 cc36-7W
Lord James Douglas-Hamilton

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what is the national figure that is expected to be spent by local authorities on community-based services for offenders, excluding community service orders or hostels for persons under supervision in 1984–85.

Mr. John MacKay

Community-based services for offenders are not separately identified in expenditure returns, but means of obtaining this information are at present under discussion with local authorities.
