Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, how much funding his Department has requested from the Exchequer for next year’s Conflict, Security and Stability Fund allocation.

As announced in March, the Conflict, Stability and Security Fund (CSSF) fund will be replaced by a new UK Integrated Security Fund (UKISF) from 2024/25. The new Fund will support the implementation of key Integrated Review Refresh (IRR) objectives, funding projects both at home and overseas to tackle some of the most complex national security challenges facing the UK and its partners. As part of this approach, funding will be raised to almost £1 billion in 2024/25.
