Lord James Douglas-Hamilton

[holding answer 20 January 1993]: Funding is provided directly and indirectly by the Scottish Office for alcohol and drug misuse projects in a number of ways. Many projects are funded by health boards either from their general allocations or the funds, totalling £2.4 million in 1992–93, specifically allocated for drug misuse. Other projects are funded by local authorities. Details of funding from all sources could be provided only at disproportionate cost. However, information, as set out in the tables, is available on funding by the Scottish Office for residential and non-residential facilities provided by voluntary sector organisations under section 10 of the Social Work (Scotland) Act 1968 and under the urban programme for the years 1987–88 to 1992–93. Figures for 1993–94 are not yet available.
