HC Deb 22 October 1992 vol 212 cc371-2W
1. Mr. Booth

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what steps he is taking to ensure that the drug prevention initiative fully participates in European drug prevention week.

Mr. Kenneth Clarke

The central drugs prevention unit and the 20 local drugs prevention teams have been actively involved in the planning of events for European drug prevention week. In co-operation with local agencies and community groups, the local teams have devised full and varied programmes. The drugs prevention initiative will make a major contribution to the international seminar and workshop to be held in London on 17 and 18 November.

16. Mr. Hawkins

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what commercial support has been received by his Department's drug prevention initiative.

Mr. Jack

In addition to cash donations, commercial support for the drugs prevention initiative has been given in the form of in-kind contributions of a number of specific events and projects. Between 29 October 1990, when the first local drugs prevention team began work, and 31 August 1992 the estimated total amount of quantifiable commercial support was £140,000, in cash and in kind.
