HC Deb 22 May 2000 vol 350 c368W
38. Mr. Kidney

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what support his Department currently gives to neighbourhood watch schemes. [121569]

Mr. Charles Clarke

The Home Office does not provide core funding for neighbourhood watch. Rather, we direct funding towards national initiatives designed to support and encourage the local activity. We also support the National Neighbourhood Watch Association in its efforts to promote increased involvement in neighbourhood watch.
