Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what funding the Government is providing to (a) Kirklees Council and (b) West Yorkshire Police under the Prevent Strategy in (i) 2015-16 and (ii) each of the next three financial years.
It is critical that Local Authorities, the Police and statutory partners work together, in light of the Prevent Duty, to prevent people from being drawn into terrorism. Community organisations have an important role to play in building resilience in their local areas.
We do not provide a breakdown of Prevent funding for individual organisations as this would indicate the balance of where our resource is targeted and indicate where the greatest risk lies.
