Victim Support Schemes

HC Deb 20 February 1986 vol 92 c299W

38. Mr. Barron

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will make additional funds available to the victim support scheme.

Mr. Mellor

I refer the hon. Member to the reply given to a question from the hon. Member for Beaconsfield (Mr. Smith) on 14 January, at column 545.

44. Mr. Chapman

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what response he has had to his statement on 15 January about financial support for individual victims' support schemes.

Mr. Mellor

We have received only one or two representations referring specifically to the statement made on 14 January, at column 545. Since the beginning of December we, however, have had some 85 letters about the general question of funding for victims support schemes.
