Adam Price: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will make a statement on Government funding for initiatives
to reduce re- offending by individuals in custody. [196874]
Paul Goggins: The Government are committed to reducing re-offending and, since 1997 have invested significant new funding to support
offenders' rehabilitation and resettlement.
Offenders in custody have achieved over 130,000 basic skills awards since April 2001. Funding for this activity is
£82 million in 2004-05. Since April 2003 over £14 million per year has been invested in the Custody to Work
initiative, which aims to increase the number of prisoners who have education, training or employment places and stable
accommodation on release. Additional new prison funding to deal with drugs has also risen to nearly £70 million this year. A
further £55 million has also been made available for throughcare and aftercare as part of the drug interventions programme to
all DAT partnerships in England and Wales from April 2004.
