HC Deb 18 December 2000 vol 360 c66W
Mr. Clappison

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what has been the total expenditure to date on the development, administration and implementation of the child curfew order. [143097]

Mr. Charles Clarke

We estimate development and administration costs within Government as £15,000. We do not collect data from local authorities on their development and administration costs: they would vary between authorities but we believe scoping work on a possible local child curfew scheme would cost under £5,000. No schemes have been implemented.
