Select Committee on Northern Ireland Affairs Minutes of Evidence


Annex A

  Mrs Iris Robinson asked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland on 4 February (under Table reference no. 148816) how much funding was provided to ethnic minorities in each of the last five years, broken down by project.

  Information from all Northern Ireland Departments and the NIO was collated, and presented in terms of total funding to funded groups in each financial year from 1998-99 to 2002-03.

  The information details funding made available to minority ethnic voluntary organ isations from the following sources; European programmes managed by Government Departments; funding from the Equality Commission NI; funding from the Community Relations Council; funding from Government agencies and non-departmental public bodies in the five financial years covering April 1998 to March 2003. The amounts include both core funding, to meet central management and administrative costs, and project funding, to enable organisations to develop and provide services.

  See answer below.
