§ Mr. BeithTo ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what was the total level of funding for each probation service in each of the last three years and the real terms change in funding levels over that period; and what is the planned real terms change in funding for 1999–2000. [81559]
§ Mr. George Howarth[pursuant to his reply, 26 April 1999, c. 76]: The table should have included a detailed breakdown of total revenue cash limit available to each probation area in this and the last three financial years; the real terms value of the last three years' cash limits at 1999–2000 prices using the latest Treasury deflators, and year on year changes. A copy has now been placed in the Library.
