Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what steps she is taking to provide security protections for faith communities.

Protecting the right of all faith communities to worship in peace and without fear is fundamental.

This year, the Government is investing £70.9 million to strengthen security at places of worship and other community sites.

This includes an additional £10 million each for Jewish and Muslim communities, taking protective security funding for these groups to record levels.
