Additional Security Funding totalling £230 million in the last parliament and £160
million in the current parliament.</p><p> </p><p>The UK Government has also provided
specific funding to the NI Executive to contribute to conditions that will allow the
removal of peace walls.</p><p> </p><p>In addition, I refer the hon Gentleman to the
