Written question asked by Andrew Mitchell (Conservative) on Thursday, 27 March 2025, in the House of Commons. It was due for an answer on Monday, 31 March 2025. It was answered by Alex Davies-Jones (Labour) on Thursday, 3 April 2025 on behalf of the Ministry of Justice.
Fines: Surcharges
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how much funding from the Victims Surcharge has been allocated to charities in the West Midlands in the last three years.
- Answer
-
The Ministry of Justice Victim and Witness budget funds a variety of support services, both at a national and local level, which offer practical, emotional and therapeutic support to help victims cope and move forward in the aftermath of crime. This includes funding to Police and Crime Commissioners (PCCs), including West Midlands OPCC, and the Rape and Sexual Abuse Support Fund (RASASF), which funds local sexual violence support organisations.
The Victim Surcharge is not a standalone funding stream and instead provides a contribution to the overall Ministry of Justice Victim and Witness budget described above. Therefore, we are unable to say how much funding to the West Midlands area was specifically allocated from the Surcharge.
