Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how much of her Department's budget was allocated to (a) the Wirral and (b) Birkenhead in 2013-14.

The Home Office does not allocate budget or record expenditure according to the location where the funds were spent.

It is not possible to break down Home Office expenditure in this way as much of the Department's work - for instance on national security or protecting our borders - is done for the benefit of the United Kingdom as a whole.
