Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many mosques have received funding from the Place of Worship Security Fund.

Over the first three years, the Places of Worship scheme has approved 134 grants worth approximately £1.5m to 63 churches, 49 to mosques, 5 to Hindu temples and 17 to Gurdwaras.

We received a high number of applications for the scheme in 2019/20 and will be informing successful applicants in the near future.
