HC Deb 27 July 2000 vol 354 c899W
Mr. Simon Hughes

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what is the real terms increase under the spending review 2000 on crime reduction initiatives in each of the next four years and in total; and if he will make a statement. [133181]

Mr. Boateng

Under the spending review, the amount of additional funding for Home Office-led crime reduction initiatives is likely to increase by at least 20 per cent. in 2001–02. However, the exact figures and the final breakdown between the crime reduction and police initiatives will not be finalised until September.
