Answer: Mr. Willis: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what the level of budget change for the Centrex Training Centre in Harrogate is for 2004-05; and what proposed changes in staffing and recruitment will result from the changes. [179208] Ms Blears :[holding answer 17 June 2004]: CENTREX's overall resource budget for 2004-05 is £74.8 million. Last year the budget was £91.0 million, and CENTREX are also liable to pay VAT in this year, which they did not have to pay last year. The Home Office does not provide grant-in-aid by individual centre. I understand that, in order to realise efficiency savings and cost reductions, staff numbers in Harrogate have been reduced by approximately 18, primarily through redeployment.
