Respect Zones

Volume 457: debated on Monday 19 February 2007

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how much has been set aside for funding respect zones. (112313)

Local authorities confirmed as respect areas will be given access to up to £6 million in 2007-08 (up to £125,000 each) from the Department for Education and Skills to improve parenting provision in their areas. This funding is only available to respect areas and is dependent on achieving that status. Respect areas will continue to receive other funding from the Respect Task Force for work to tackle antisocial behaviour and its causes, although these grants are available to a wider number of areas facing significant challenges and are not dependent on respect area status.
