Oral question asked in the House of Commons, by Brian Iddon (Labour). It was answered on Monday, 22 March 2010 on behalf of the Home Office.


Drugs (Young People)

Question
Does my hon. Friend believe that the Government invest enough money in early intervention programmes, which result in less criminalisation of so many of our young people later in their lives?
Answer

We always keep an eye on that issue, but we already invest more than £55 million each year in tackling young people's substance misuse, and that includes funding treatment, area-based grant work for under-18s' misuse, Positive Futures and the Frank website.
