The numbers of eligible people on the registers for electoral events are published by the
Electoral Commission following the elections taking place, but do not include a breakdown
of the numbers of EU citizens eligible to vote. The report on the 2014 European
Parliamentary elections was produced by the Electoral Commission in July 2014 and is

Similarly, the Cabinet Office does not hold information on the number of European
nationals resident in the UK who are registered to vote for the 2019 European

Each Electoral Registration Officer maintains a register for their own local area. Some
headline registration statistics by area are collated and published annually by the Office for
National Statistics, however, this does not include a breakdown of the numbers of EU
citizens registered to vote. The total number of UK local government electors \u2013 which

Following the 2014 European Parliamentary election, the Electoral Commission identified, in its statutory election report, that the system set out in law for citizens of other EU member states to register to vote in future European elections in the UK could be simplified. It specifically highlighted that legislation could be changed so that EU citizens would not need to complete more than one electoral registration form. Commission staff subsequently met Cabinet Office officials, together with representatives from EU citizens\u2019 organisations, to consider the practical implications of this and other options for amending the law. Following the EU Referendum, the UK Government was clear that the European Parliamentary elections in 2019 would not take place. The Commission did not, therefore, continue to develop its recommendations.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4046", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Bridget Phillipson"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Houghton and Sunderland South"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Bridget Phillipson"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2019-05-02", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2019-05-02T14:33:54.607Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "36"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Speaker's Committee on the Electoral Commission"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Speaker's Committee on the Electoral Commission"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2019-04-29", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Electoral Register"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the hon.

On 19 March, the Home Secretary announced a boost in funding for the hate crime Places of Worship Protective Security Funding Scheme to £1.6 million for 2019/20 (excluding synagogues). This is double the amount awarded in 2018/19. Furthermore, £5 million over three years has also been committed to providing security training to places of worship in England and Wales. This will enable staff and volunteers to develop the security understanding necessary to make security measures work more effectively.<\/p>

On 27 February, the Home Secretary announced increased funding for the Jewish Community Protective Security Grant to £14 million for 2019/20. Although this fund is focussed primarily on security at Jewish Schools a proportion of funding is allocated to the security of synagogues. This Grant was introduced in 2015 following a number of terrorist attacks on Jews and Jewish sites in Europe.<\/p>
