Oral question asked in the House of Commons, by Jim Cunningham (Labour). It was answered on Monday, 15 July 2019 on behalf of the Home Office.


Violent Crime: Young People

Question

What is the Home Secretary doing with other Departments in the spending review to fund youth centres properly? That would go some way to tackling youth crime.

Answer

When it comes to early intervention, youth activities, youth clubs and the kind of thing we have just heard about in Southend are the sort of important work that we want to support more. I have talked about the £220 million of early intervention funding, which is a record amount, and it will go towards doing that, supporting some 200 different projects.
