HC Deb 14 June 2004 vol 422 cc766-7W
Simon Hughes

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what(a) public and (b) charity funds were spent on tackling drugs misuse in Greater London, broken down by borough, in each year since 1997. [173251]

Caroline Flint

Following the launch of the National Drug Strategy in 1998 (Revised 2002) ring fenced investment in action to tackle drugs has increased significantly. Central drug specific allocations are supplemented by local mainstream and charitable funding. Information related to mainstream and charitable funding would only be available at local level. It would incur a disproportionate cost in staff time to gather these figures and they would be difficult to verify.

The following tables contain the specific allocations for 2003–04 for Greater London by Drug Action Team (DAT) area. The first table shows allocations made to the 12 DATs involved in phase one of the Criminal Justice Intervention Programme, the remaining DATs are shown in the second table.

In order to ensure consistency figures supplied are based on funding streams associated with the National Drug Strategy and are readily verifiable. These funding streams are specifically targeted at tackling the harm caused to individuals, families and communities by the misuse of drugs.
