Answer from Hansard

The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Justice (Sir Nicholas Dakin)

The Government are determined to reduce youth reoffending as part of our safer streets mission. Despite the huge fiscal challenges we inherited, we have been able to increase our core funding to youth offending teams across the country, allowing them to support children away from crime.
