Sarah Teather: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what funding was provided to (a) the National Domestic Helpline, (b) the Women's Aid and (c) the Victim Supportline in each year since 2001. [197864]

Mr. Coaker: Figures for funding for the National Domestic Violence Helpline from 2001-03 are not available as it was first established as a single service in December 2003. £1.4 million was provided by the then Office of the Deputy Prime Minister (ODPM) for the next three years. In 2005-06, responsibility for the helpline transferred to the Home Office as part of the National Delivery Plan for Domestic Violence and £60,000 was provided in addition to £100,000 which was transferred from ODPM. In 2006-07 the Home Office provided £250,000 and this has now increased to £500,000 in 2007-08.

Figures for the funding for Women's Aid prior to 2003 are not available, but since 2003 they have been given the following funding:

Since 2001, Victim Support has allocated £200,000 of its annual grant in aid from the Office for Criminal Justice Reform to the running of its Victim Supportline.

Driving Offences: Mobile Phones

Mr. Ruffley: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many drivers were (a) stopped by police, (b) charged, (c) convicted, (d) fined and (e) cautioned for driving while using a mobile phone in each police force area in each year since the ban came into force. [198477]

Mr. Coaker: Information held on the court proceedings database held by the Ministry of Justice from 2003 to 2005 (latest available) is provided in the table. As the majority of ‘use of hand held mobile phone while driving’ offences are dealt with by the issue of a fixed penalty notice these are also included. 2006 data will be available later this year.
