In 2020-21 the Government is increasing funding for counter-terrorism policing by £90m year-on-year, taking CT police funding for England and Wales to over £900m.

The Government is committed to supporting our superb police, security and intelligence agencies who work round the clock to keep us safe. Since March 2017, the police and the security and intelligence agencies have foiled 25 Terrorist plots, including eight extreme right-wing plots.

For security reasons we do not disclose the breakdown of counter-terrorism police funding to individual forces.
