To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government whether funding of the troubled families initiative has had implications for the funding of other programmes operated by his Department; what such programmes are; and what funding has been so diverted in each case.

The Troubled Families programme is one of a number of new programmes the Department is funding over the spending review period. Funding for new programmes comes from a combination of departmental unallocated resources, as set out in the Department's Annual Report and Accounts 2010-11. The Estimates Memorandum for each Department will be published by Parliament and the Estimates themselves will be published by Treasury in the early part of the new financial year 2012-13. These documents will carry the detail of all programme budget changes.
