Question to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities:
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, whether he plans to increase funding for local authorities to install and maintain CCTV cameras; and if he will make a statement.
The Department does not provide specific funding to councils for CCTV camera installation. Over this spending period we have made available over £200 billion in funding for councils to spend on locally determined priorities. Councils are independent of central Government and are responsible for managing their budgets in line with local priorities.
