HC Deb 12 April 2000 vol 348 cc190-5W
20. Mr. Hunter

To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland how much funding organisations claiming to support victims of violence have received(a) from the Government and (b) from EU sources in the last five years; and if he will make a statement. [117435]

Mr. Ingram

The Northern Ireland Office and Northern Ireland Departments fund a number of self-help groups, organisations and agencies which support victims of violence and their families. Some of theses organisations do not, however, exist solely to help victims, and there are other organisations which assist victims but do not receive public funding. I have set out the available information on groups which have received funding over the last five years.

With the exception of the NIO's grant to Victim Support (NI) (those sums marked *), payments made by NIO represent 25 per cent. fully additional funding towards projects which have received 75 per cent. funding from the EU Special Support Programme for Peace and Reconciliation (EUSSPPR), which began in 1995, and grants for small pilot schemes paid by the Victims Liaison Unit (those marked **). A total grant of £225,000 is being administered on behalf of the Victims Liaison Unit by the Community Relations Council for which a break down in amounts paid to each group is not available until the scheme ends in July 2000.

Funding made available by DOE and the Department of Social Development has been provided through Making Belfast Work.

In addition the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development have issued letters to offer to Fair for £5,000 and South Armagh British Victims for £2,500. The amounts are expected to be drawn down from the Rural Development Council.
