Lord Rix

asked Her Majesty's Government:

What action they plan to take to ensure that existing Section 11–funded schemes in schools are able to continue when their current funding expires in 1997.

The Minister of State, Home Office (Baroness Blatch)

Despite other pressures on public expenditure, the current level of funding for the important work that Section 11 supports in schools and elsewhere will be maintained until August 1998.
