Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, how much public funding the Government has provided for the staffing costs of the Somalian police's Goodir Unit.

The UK is working with the Somali Police to improve their capability and capacity for investigating and stopping terrorist threats, in line with international human rights standards. Our support builds on the Somali Police Force's capability to combat the threat from Al Shabaab and strengthens compliance with international human rights standards. It complements other counter-terrorism work the UK conducts in the region in line with the UK's international counter-terrorism priorities.
