Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how much of her Department's funding allocated in the Spending Review 2015 will be for research and development expenditure up to 2020.
The Spending Review announcement set the overall budget for the Home Office. Officials are now going through the detail and will continue to provide advice to the Home Secretary on individual allocations and spending commitments. We anticipate that funding allocations for research and development will be confirmed in the new year.
