question text	To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what the total amount spent on the Prevent programme was in each of the last five years; and how much of that was allocated via local authorities in each such year.

uin	207956
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/09/2014 answer text <p /> <p>The Prevent strategy was revised in June 2011. Since then, the funding allocations for the Prevent programme were as follows: <br><br>FY 2011 / 12 - £36m<br>FY 2012 / 13 - £35m<br>FY 2013 / 14 - £39m<br>FY 2014 / 15 - £40m<br><br>In each of these years, £5.1m has been made available to local authorities on a grant basis to deliver Prevent work at local level. <br><br>The 2011 Prevent Strategy separated Prevent and integration work. As a result, the Department for Communities and Local Government leads the Government’s integration strategy. Integration work no longer receives funding from the Home Office. It is therefore misleading to draw comparisons between Prevent funding figures before and after 2011.</p><p /> answering member constituency Old Bexley and Sidcup answering member printed James Brokenshire question first answered 11/09/2014 16:52:06 answering member 1530 label Biography information for James Brokenshire previous answer version 18290 answering member constituency Old Bexley and Sidcup answering member printed James Brokenshire answering member 1530 label Biography information for James Brokenshire

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/09/2014 answer text <p> </p><p>Channel exists in every local authority area in England and Wales - the programme was rolled out nationally in April 2012. Each of the nine police <br>regions receives funding to support the Channel programme. In most areas, the local authority and other partners work effectively together to support people at risk of radicalisation and getting drawn into terrorism. In order to ensure that all partnerships work consistently well, we are placing Channel on a statutory footing to secure the effective local co-operation that is required in all areas.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Old Bexley and Sidcup answering member printed James Brokenshire question first answered 09/09/2014 15:28:53 answering member 1530 label Biography information for James Brokenshire previous answer version 18288 answering member constituency Old Bexley and Sidcup answering member printed James Brokenshire answering member 1530 label Biography information for James Brokenshire

uin	207910
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/09/2014 answer text <p /> <p>Law enforcement agencies do not routinely record the professions of individuals who have had their communications data accessed under the Regulation of Investigators Powers Act 2000 (RIPA), as there is no operational reason to do so. Furthermore, at the time that communications data is requested, the police may not be aware of the professions of those individuals that the requested data will relate to.<br><br>Communications data can only be accessed under RIPA when it is necessary for one of the statutory purposes, for example for the prevention and detection of crime and proportionate to what is sought to be achieved. As well as having to be necessary and proportionate, there are additional safeguards provided by the statutory Acquisition of Communications Data Code of Practice 2007 and independent oversight provided by the independent Interception of Communications Commissioner. We are currently updating the statutory Code, including on whether additional consideration should be given to privileged information, such as from journalists or lawyers.</p><p /> answering member constituency Old Bexley and Sidcup answering member printed James Brokenshire question first answered 11/09/2014 16:44:18 answering member 1530 label Biography information for James Brokenshire previous answer version 18286 answering member constituency Old Bexley and Sidcup answering member printed James Brokenshire answering member 1530 label Biography information for James Brokenshire

The Government has supported this with £860m of investment over five years through the National Cyber Security Programme (NCSP). We have so far committed £70m of NCSP funding in improving law enforcement agencies’ ability to respond to this threat, including setting up the National Cyber Crime Unit in the National Crime Agency, and cyber teams in each of the Regional Organised Crime Units. We are also supporting the training of police officers and investigators in local forces in England and Wales, through the development of new online and classroom-based training packages by the College of Policing for 5,000 officers.</p><p /> <p /> <p> </p> answering member constituency Staffordshire Moorlands answering member printed Karen Bradley question first answered 09/09/2014 15:24:35 answering member 4110 label Biography information for Dame Karen Bradley previous answer version 18038 answering member constituency Old Bexley and Sidcup answering member printed James Brokenshire answering member 1530 label Biography information for James Brokenshire
