There are a range of sensitive policy issues to carefully work through in order to deliver regulations to provide access to abortion services in Northern Ireland by 31 March 2020 in Northern Ireland. This duty will come into effect if the Northern Ireland Executive is not restored by 21 October 2019. <\/ins><\/p>

<\/ins><\/p>

Government officials including from the NIO have met some representatives of the medical profession and other stakeholders and will continue to do so in the weeks ahead.<\/ins><\/p>

<\/ins><\/p>

There will also be a period of consultation throughout this process for individuals in Northern Ireland as well as relevant organisations to provide input and views. I will continue to keep the House updated on these plans at the appropriate opportunities through the Executive Formation Act reporting requirements.<\/ins><\/p>

Policing is a devolved matter in Northern Ireland and operational capability is a matter for the Chief Constable. The PSNI\u2019s main budget is allocated by the Department of Justice from the Northern Ireland block grant.<\/ins><\/p>

<\/ins><\/p>

The UK Government has provided the PSNI with the additional security funding it has asked for and needs to ensure that they have the resource (including officers) to tackle the SEVERE threat from Northern Ireland related terrorism (NIRT). This additional security funding boosts PSNI\u2019s ability to tackle the terrorist threat while ensuring day-to-day policing isn\u2019t compromised.<\/ins><\/p>

<\/ins><\/p>

PSNI received £230m additional security funding in the last parliament and £160m in this one. In addition, the UK Government has provided PSNI with over £16.5m to help prepare for EU exit. This funding from the UK Government will continue to support PSNI to address the wider security pressures and contingencies arising from the NIRT threat and EU exit preparations and will enable PSNI to recruit 206 additional officers this financial year.<\/ins><\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4118", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Julian Smith"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Skipton and Ripon"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Julian Smith"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2019-09-09", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "true", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "previousAnswerVersion" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1144512/answer/previousversion/135704", "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4118", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Julian Smith"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Skipton and Ripon"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Julian Smith"} } , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2019-09-09T16:59:08.673Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ], "questionFirstMinisteriallyCorrected" : [{"_value" : "2019-10-07T20:32:55.923Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "21"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Northern Ireland"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Northern Ireland"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2019-09-03", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Police Service of Northern Ireland"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, what steps the Government is taking as part of its planning for the event that the UK leaves the EU without a deal to increase the number of officers in the Police Service of Northern Ireland in line with the recent request by its Chief Constable; and if he will make a statement.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/1437", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Lady Hermon"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "North Down"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Lady Hermon"} ], "uin" : "286149"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1143464", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Northern Ireland Office"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1143464/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "
