To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what new staffing, resources, and funding have been made available to the National Crime Agency's kleptocracy cell since it was established.

The SR21 settlement and the Economic Crime Levy represent an overall package of circa £400 million to tackle economic crime over the next three years, including support for the National Economic Crime Centre (NECC) and wider law enforcement.

The Home Office are supporting the NCA by providing additional funding for the Combating Kleptocracy Cell in FY22/23. Details of specific capabilities and resources are protected for operational security reasons.
