HC Deb 25 October 1995 vol 264 cc705-6W
Mr. Llwyd

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales what financial provision his office has made to support Drug Prevention Week Wales; what is the funding level for drug prevention in Wales(a) in total and (b) as a proportion of the figure in England; and if he will make a statement. [38135]

Mr. Richards

Drug Prevention Week was a police initiative; they and the agencies working with them were responsible for funding it.

Welsh Office funding for combating drug misuse is generally made available through general allocations to and various grant schemes operated by health and local authorities. It is not possible to identify separately the total amounts spent on drug prevention.
