§ Mr. SwinneyTo ask the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will provide a break-down of all allocations of money over £10,000 made under the non-custodial offenders services scheme in the financial year 1997–98; if he will give the allocations over £10,000 already made under this scheme for the financial years 1998–99 and 1999–2000; if he will give(a) the amount allocated to running costs and (b) the total funds available for each of the next three financial years; and what percentage of this will be under the control of the Scottish Parliament. [65795]
§ Mr. McLeish[holding answer 18 January 1999]: The table shows the allocation of grants made to local authorities in 1997–98 and 1998–99 by Central Government for the provision of criminal justice social work services. Allocation of grant for 1999–2000 has yet to be made. Most of the grant allocated to authorities is used for revenue funding: the capital element is very small. The total funds available for criminal justice social work services in 1999–2000, 2000–01 and 2001–02 are £40.8 million, £42.8 million, and £44 million respectively. All of the funding for criminal justice social work will come under the control of the Scottish Parliament.
