Alex Chalk – 2016 Parliamentary Question to the Northern Ireland Office

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Alex Chalk on 2016-01-12.

To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, what steps she is taking to support the Police Service of Northern Ireland and the security services in tackling terrorism in Northern Ireland.

Mrs Theresa Villiers

The PSNI do an outstanding and vital job keeping people safe from violent dissident republicans.

That is why they will receive £160 million extra security funding over the next five years from the UK Government to tackle this threat.

This builds on £231 million additional security funding we have provided since 2011.
