answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/11/2014 answer text <p>The security of all UK citizens remains this Government’s highest priority. While the threat level in Northern Ireland remains at Severe, excellent co-operation between PSNI and its partners has put violent dissident republicans under strain in recent months. There have been a number of significant arrests, charges and convictions which are helping to suppress the threat.</p><p>This Government has provided additional security funding to the PSNI totalling £231million between 2011 and 2016 in order to support them in tackling this threat.</p><p>The funding the PSNI received from the NI block grant through the Department of Justice also plays an important role in national security work. The Chief Constable has indicated that recent reductions in PSNI funding by the Executive will have an impact on countering the threat from terrorism in NI. I have asked for a full assessment of what that impact is going to be.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Chipping Barnet answering member printed Mrs Theresa Villiers question first answered 10/11/2014 11:39:16 answering member 1500 label Biography information for Theresa Villiers

Section 1 of the War Memorials (Local Authorities’ Powers) Act 1923 (which extends to Northern Ireland) provides for local authorities to incur reasonable expenditure in the maintenance, repair and protection of any war memorial within their district whether vested in them or not.</p><p>On 1 July 2014, my Rt hon Friends the Prime Minister and the Secretary of State for Culture Media and Sport announced details of a £5 million fund to conserve and protect war memorials. This funding will support a range of different projects including the provision of up to £3 million for the War Memorials Trust which works for the protection and conservation of war memorials within the United Kingdom to ensure they remain part of our communities forever.</p><p>The funding to the War Memorials Trust over the four year period of the First World War Centenary will boost support for their grant schemes and expand their team of specialist Conservation Officers.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency South West Wiltshire answering member printed Dr Andrew Murrison question first answered 11/11/2014 17:03:49 answering member 1466 label Biography information for Dr Andrew Murrison
