Mr. Browne

My right hon. Friend the Chancellor of the Exchequer, announced the extension of the Ethnic Minority Outreach Programme in July 2002 as part of the 2002 Spending Review 'Opportunity and Security for All'.

The additional £14 million funding will be available from April 2004 for two years. My right hon. Friend the Secretary of State has no plans to make a further announcement at this time.
