HC Deb 30 November 1994 vol 250 c741W
Mr. Llwyd

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales (1) what was the budget for 1992–93 for the education of young people about the effects of substance abuse and drug taking;

(2) what was the budget for 1993–94 for the education of young people about the effects of substance abuse and drug taking.

Mr. Richards

Drug prevention work is undertaken by a number of agencies from both the statutory and voluntary sectors, which receive funds from various sources. In 1992–93 the Welsh Office made available some £200,000 to help fund activities concerned with the prevention of drug misuse. The budget for 1993–94 was nearly £240,000. Funding is also available to local education authorities for health education (including drugs) under the grants for education support and training programme.
