Question to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities:

To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, whether his Department (a) has a role and (b) provides funding in respect of Government measures to protect religious buildings from attack.

The Department for Communities and Local Government does not have a direct role nor does it provide funding in respect of measures to protect religious buildings from attack. The Jewish Community Protective Security Grant, the Places of Worship security funding scheme and the Vulnerable Faith Institutions scheme are the responsibility of the Home Office.
