Dept for Education and Skills

Answer

Charles Hendry: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills what the total funding for Millennium volunteers for each local authority area has been for (a) 2003-04, (b) 2002-03, (c) 2001-02 and (d) 2000-01; and what the anticipated level of funding for 2004-05 is. [140662] Mr. Ivan Lewis: The amount of funding allocated for Millennium Volunteers projects in each local authority area is not collected as many projects operate across boundaries. £10 million was allocated for MV in England in 2000-01 but information by region is not available. The amount of funding allocated in each region in 2001-02, 2002-03, 2003-04 and 2004-05 is provided in the table. The figure for 2004-05 is lower than that in previous years because the Department invested additional funds in excess of the allocated budget in the spending period. £ _________________________________________________________________________________________________.
