Jewish Community Protective Security Grant: Faith Schools

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, if he will publish the total amount of funding per pupil allocated by his Department to the Community Security Trust for school security in each year since 2015.

2015-16: £10.9m
2016-17: £13.4m*
2017-18: £13.4m*

*includes a £3.0m contribution from the Department for Education in relation to security of Jewish state and free schools.
