Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what plans her Department has to fund increased security costs for synagogues and mosques.

The police have increased their operational response to possible threats to the British Jews and Muslims following recent attacks in Europe, and arrangements to ensure the safety and security of citizens from all backgrounds remain under regular review.

Together with the police we are carefully considering what more can and should be done to protect people of different faiths and their institutions in the current climate.
