Counter-terrorism: Finance
(asked on 4th March 2026) - View Source
Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, pursuant to the answer of 9 September 2025, to Question 71458, on Counter-terrorism: finance, if he will list how much was paid to each individual local authority for (a) local authority posts and (b) project delivery in 2024-25.
In 2024/25, the Home Office paid dedicated Prevent grant funds to the 30 highest threat priority area local authorities. A breakdown of the funding that was paid to local authorities via the Home Office Prevent grant for posts and projects is outlined in Table A.
In addition, in 2024/25 all local authorities in England and Wales were able to apply for targeted Prevent projects, which were delivered through the Preventing Radicalisation Fund (PRF). The PRF is now available to local authorities in Scotland. These projects are delivered by trusted third sector organisations, including local civil society organisations. The funding for approved PRF projects was not paid to local authorities directly and was administered separately by a Grant Administrator. The funding that was allocated for PRF projects delivered in local authorities in 2024/25 is outlined in Table B.
Please note that some priority areas in receipt of Home Office Prevent grant funding also applied for additional project funding via the PRF to support project delivery in other adjacent local authorities as part of regional activities. In addition, some local authorities teamed up to place joint PRF bids to support project delivery across multiple local authorities, and have been grouped together in Table B.
