(asked on 1st November 2017) - View Source
Question to the Cabinet Office:
To ask Her Majesty's Government how much, if any, of the £1.9 billion investment in cyber security announced on 1 November 2016, has been designated for allocation towards policing in Northern Ireland.
This question was answered on 15th November 2017
The £1.9bn investment in cyber security is subject to the Barnett formula. The Devolved Administrations prioritise their funding in line with internal cyber priorities. In addition, policing in Northern Ireland will benefit from many UK-wide capabilities, including the National Cyber Security Centre and the National Cyber Crime Unit within the National Crime Agency.
