Question to the Cabinet Office:
To ask Her Majesty's Government how much, if any, of the £1.9 billion investment in cyber security announced on 1 November 2016, has been designated for allocation towards policing in Northern Ireland.
Answered by Lord Young of Cookham
The £1.9bn investment in cyber security is subject to the Barnett formula. The Devolved Administrations prioritise their funding in line with internal cyber priorities. In addition, policing in Northern Ireland will benefit from many UK-wide capabilities, including the National Cyber Security Centre and the National Cyber Crime Unit within the National Crime Agency.

Question to the Cabinet Office:
To ask Her Majesty’s Government what has been the average cost to the public purse of a parliamentary by-election since 2010.
Answered by Lord Bridges of Headley
The average (mean) cost to the public purse of a Parliamentary by-election since 2010 is £228,964. This comprises two main elements: the costs incurred by Returning Officers in running the poll; and the cost of delivering election mailings produced by candidates. The costs of running the three most recent by-elections, for which the Returning Officer’s expenses have not yet been settled, have not been factored into this average figure.
