For security reasons we do not disclose the breakdown of counter-terrorism police funding for specific capabilities.

The Government is committed to supporting our superb police, security and intelligence agencies, who work round the clock to keep us safe.

That is why the Government increased resources to the intelligence community in the 2015 Spending Review. By 2021, the security and intelligence agencies will have invested an additional £2.5bn in their capability to deliver against national security priorities.
