Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, what plans his Department has to change the budget of the Single Intelligence Account in 2015-16.

The budget for the SIA in 2015-16 was set at the Spending Review of 2013. In November 2014, in his response to the Intelligence and Security Committee’s report on the murder of Fusilier Lee Rigby, the Prime Minister announced an additional £130m over two years to address the increased threat of terrorism, including new funding to enhance our ability to monitor and disrupt self-starting terrorists.
