Question to the Northern Ireland Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, what steps he is taking to provide the Police Service of Northern Ireland with additional funding to tackle terrorism in Northern Ireland; and if he will make a statement.
This Government has provided the Police Service of Northern Ireland with the additional resources they asked for and need to tackle the Northern Ireland related terrorism threat. This includes £160m in Additional Security Funding to PSNI over the current spending review period. On top of this, cross-government spending on counter-terrorism right across the UK will increase by 30 per cent in real terms over this Parliament.
