Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, with reference to the Integrated Security Fund Annual Report 2024–25, published on 30 October 2025, whether any ISF-funded programme has been reviewed or sanctioned for misreporting, exaggerating, or fabricating Gender Equality and Social Inclusion marker data since April 2024.

The Integrated Security Fund (ISF) is unaware of any instance of Gender, Equality and Social Inclusion (GESI) markers being misreported, exaggerated, or fabricated.

The ISF operates under clear rules and requirements on GESI embedded throughout the programme lifecycle. These ensure reporting is accurate, consistent and monitored in-year. In 2024/25, all Integrated Security Fund (ISF) programmes underwent an annual review, and every programme also undergoes a closure review when it ends, both of which include a dedicated assessment of GESI performance.
