Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, with reference to her Department's Serious Violence strategy policy paper published on 9 April 2018, from which of her Department's budgets will the funding announced for a Serious Violence strategy be allocated; and whether such allocation of funds will effect the budgets of other existing programmes led by her Department.

The Home Office is providing £40 million of funding over 2 years to support the initiatives in the Serious Violence Strategy.

The funding is through the Home Secretary’s crime reduction budget and it does not affect any existing programme budgets.
