of funding for counter terrorism by force area or by capability.</p><p>Overall this
Government has protected counter-terrorism police spend in real terms over the Spending
Review period, and invested in counter-terrorism policing to grow key capabilities,
including providing £144m to increase armed policing capability. We remain committed
to increasing cross-government spending on counter-terrorism by 30%, from £11.7 billion
to £15.1 billion, including funding an additional 1,900 officers at our security and
intelligence agencies.</p><p>We know that the recent horrific attacks have put pressure
on the police across the country. We are already working closely with policing, including
with Greater Manchester Police and the Metropolitan Police Service, to help manage
the cost of the immediate response to the recent attacks.</p><p>The Government has
a constructive dialogue with policing to ensure that the right powers, capabilities
and resources are in place.</p>
