HC Deb 23 June 2003 vol 407 c565W
Mr. Hendry

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what funding programmes are operated by his Department to support voluntary organisations working with young people; and what the level of support has been in each of the last three years. [120513]

Mr. McNulty

The Department operates a number of funding programmes to support a wide range of voluntary organisations which include, but are not exclusive to, young people as a target group. We do not hold centrally information on the level of support to voluntary organisations working with young people. However, the Department is committed to working with and giving young people a real say in shaping transport policy and influencing decisions for the future. The Department is due to publish an Action Plan, setting out how it intends to work better with young people to achieve this.
