HC Deb 18 November 2002 vol 394 cc27-8W
Mr. Edward Davey

To ask the Deputy Prime Minister, what the estimated(a) date, (b) cost to his Department and (c) cost to other Government bodies is of the incorporation of the neighbourhood wardens and street wardens into a new Neighbourhood Renewal Unit funding channel. [81703]

Mrs. Roche

The incorporation of the neighbourhood and street wardens into a new Neighbourhood Renewal funding stream is already under way. There will be no cost to the office of the Deputy Prime Minister or other Government departments. Indeed, a single wardens funding stream should help to streamline and simplify arrangements both for grant recipients and those administering the programmes.
