§ Mr. DarlingTo ask the Secretary of State for Scotland what is his estimate of the cost of operating a supervisory order made by a court in Scotland.
§ Mr. Stewart[holding answer 15 March 1993]: Under the 100 per cent. funding arrangements the average cost of providing a community service order which involves supervised work in the community was approximately £1,150 for 1991. This is the most recent year for which information is available. Similar figures are not yet available for the cost of a supervised attendance order.
