much the Youth Justice Board was allocated for expenditure on education in each year since 1999. [280235]
Mr. Straw:
Funding was not allocated in 1999-2000, as 2000-01 was the first year in which the Government provided funding to the Youth Justice Board for expenditure on education.
The following table therefore shows for each year from 2000-01 to 2008-09, (A) the total funding which the YJB has allocated for expenditure on education from its Ministry of Justice (and previously Home Office) grant; and, (B) the amount of DCSF (previously DFES and DFEE) funding allocated to the YJB for education expenditure.

Departmental Contracts
Chris Grayling:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department pursuant to the answer of 24 March 2009, Official Report, columns 289-90W, on departmental contracts, what the (a) purpose and (b) cost of the contracts awarded to each of the other organisations and bodies including named individuals was in (i) 2007-08 and (ii) 2008-09. [269250]
Alan Johnson:
The tables, based on centrally held management information, provide the (a) purpose and (b) cost of research contracts let by the Research, Development and Statistics group within the Home Office, awarded to organisations and bodies not funded by the higher education funding councils in 2007-08 and 2008-09. This includes contracts awarded to individuals who, whilst employed by an institute supported by the higher education funding councils, undertake work in a private capacity. The purpose is taken from the project title held centrally. The values of contracts are classified in the year the contracts were let; some of the costs for the contract would be for future years, as in the case of the largest contract listed—the £15 million for the British Crime Survey of which the majority of costs will be spread over three years. The costs of each contract represent the estimated cost at the time the contract was let and not on the actual costs incurred.

Energy Supply: Security
Gregory Barker:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what work the Centre for the Protection of National Infrastructure (a) has undertaken and (b) plans to undertake in relation to the energy sector. [280351]
Mr. Hanson:
The Centre for the Protection of National Infrastructure (CPNI) is the Government authority that provides protective security advice to owners and operators across the national infrastructure.
CPNI works closely with the national infrastructure organisations within the energy sector, in conjunction with the sector sponsor department, in order to identify vulnerabilities and help improve protection against national security threats. This includes delivery of an extensive programme of security enhancements at critical energy sites working with operators such as National Grid.
For reasons of national security it would not be appropriate to disclose details of work carried out on such programmes.
