HC Deb 19 April 2004 vol 420 cc328-9W
Mr. Goodman

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what funding has been allocated to(a) building safer communities, (b) drug action teams, (c) Frameworks for Regional Employment and Skills Action, (d) Positive Futures and (e) the Youth Inclusion Programme in (i) 2004–05, (ii) 2005–06 and (iii) total. [163719]

Ms Blears

Funding in 2004–05 for the initiatives named is shown in the table:

2004–05
Building Safer Communities £74 million
Drug Action Teams £386,600
Positive Futures £5 million Home Office
£1 million Football Foundation
Youth Inclusion Programme (Total YIP funding 1999–06 £39.24million) £7 million

There is no direct Government Funding for Frameworks for Regional Employment and Skills Action (FRESAs). FRESAs are the way in which key regional partners led by the RDA develop and deliver an agreed plan to address skills and employment needs of employers and individuals within the region. The resources which partners bring to the table in respect of agreed priorities in the FRESA will vary from region to region.

Funding allocations for 2005–06 are still being discussed and levels of funding will be made known as soon as they are agreed.
