To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what change there has been in the partnership development fund for crime reduction in the last year. [69813]

Mr. Denham

The Partnership Development Fund aims to build the capacity of Crime and Disorder Reduction Partnerships to manage the implementation of local projects and strategies to deliver and sustain crime and disorder reduction in their area. The fund enables Crime Reduction Directors located at Government Offices in the Regions and in the National Assembly for Wales to target resources locally. An allocation has been made to Directors totalling £15.54 million in this current financial year.
