Philip Davies – 2015 Parliamentary Question to the Northern Ireland Office

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Philip Davies on 2015-11-17.

To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, what discussions she has had with Cabinet colleagues on ensuring that Northern Ireland benefits from the Government’s planned expansion of the intelligence agencies.

Mrs Theresa Villiers

I regularly discuss national security issues with Cabinet colleagues.

The National Security Strategy and Strategic Defence and Security Review published this week, confirm that tackling terrorism in all its forms continues to be one of the Government’s highest priorities.

We will increase funding for counter-terrorism by 30% in real terms over this Parliament.
