HC Deb 30 January 2003 vol 398 c1036W
Mr. Paul Marsden

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what financial assistance his Department has given to the National Missing Persons Helpline in each year since 1997. [93113]

Mr. Denham

The National Missing Persons Helpline (N MPH) is a charitable organisation and does not receive any direct funding from the Home Office.

However, a joint bid by the police and the NMPH to the Invest to Save Budget, which has been led by the Home Office, has been successful. Funding of £810,000 has been secured for a missing persons project. The aim of the project is the establishment of joint working arrangements between the UK Police Service and the NMPH, together with improved recording and information sharing.
