Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, which projects received funding from the Asset Recovery Incentivisation Scheme top slice in the 2021-22 financial year; what each of these projects were intended to do; how much funding each project received; what recent progress each project has made against its objectives; and if she will make an assessment of the impact of each project on levels of further asset recovery.

In the financial year 2021-22 there were 16 Asset Recovery Incentivisation Scheme Top Slice projects. The performance of these projects is governed by the Strategic Asset Recovery Group.

The most recent public update on use of ARIS funding by POCA partners is available at: Asset recovery statistical bulletin: financial years ending 2017 to 2022 - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk). We are currently exploring options for providing a further public breakdown of this data.
