HC Deb 03 December 1987 vol 123 c644W
Ms. Richardson

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment what plans he has to ensure that every local authority has adequate resources to provide victim support schemes.

Mr. Chope

The rate support grant settlement includes provision for both personal social services, and for services which are the responsibility of the Home Office. It is, however, entirely for individual authorities to make resources available for particular activities.
