§ Mr. Jim CunninghamTo ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what plans he has to extend the funding via the safer cities scheme for a secure room for the safety of witnesses at Salford magistrates' court to Coventry magistrates court and other magistrates courts. [24207]
§ Mr. MacleanI have no such plans. The Coventry safer cities project closed in March 1994 and the bulk of the safer cities programme now forms part of the single regeneration budget at the Department of the Environment. It is for projects' local steering committees to decide on their funding priorities.
