Victims: Finance

Volume 459: debated on Tuesday 17 April 2007

To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland how much funding was provided to each victims group in the Province in each year since 1994. (130694)

Records show that funding detailed in the following table has been allocated to organisations involved in providing support for victims between April 1998 and March 2007. Year by year breakdowns of these figures is not available; nor are details of funding prior to 1998. In both cases this information could be provided only at disproportionate cost.

In addition to the amounts shown, victims' groups may apply for funding from any programme or scheme, such as the District Council Community Relations Programme or European Union funding through the Local Strategy Partnerships, for which they can satisfy the relevant eligibility criteria.

1 These organisations have a number of branches and the funding for individual branches has been combined for the purposes of the table. Note: The Community Foundation for Northern Ireland (formerly NIVT) also received £1,123,324 through the EU Special Programme for Peace and Reconciliation (Peace I) which supported victims of violence. The Foundation allocated these funds in support of a number of projects for both ex-prisoners and victims. Persons from these groups could benefit from the same project and it is not possible to disaggregate the assistance between the two groups.
