Answer

As a matter of longstanding policy, the National Crime Agency does not provide breakdowns and estimates on the specific budget allocations to target particular crime types.

Details about the Agency’s budgets can be found online in our Annual Report and Accounts https://www.nationalcrimeagency.gov.uk/who-we-are/publications/757-nca-annual-report-accounts-2024-25/file.

The FTE counts for the teams requested are:

	May 2022	May 2023	May 2024	May 2025	May 2026
National Economic Crime Centre	89.98	94.12	110.04	121.69	121.12
UK Financial Intelligence Unit	149.07	173.55	178.79	178.41	187.57
Proceeds of Crime Centre	19.26	16.99	22.2	21.6	22.6

We are unable to provide FTE figures for all requested teams due to reasons of operational sensitivity.
