Protective Security for Mosques Scheme: Finance
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether the additional £10 million announced on 23 October 2025 to protect Mosques and Muslim faith centres is a permanent increase in annual funding or a one-off increase for 2025-26.
Answered by Dan Jarvis
In 2025/26, up to £70.9 million is available to protect faith communities. This includes £29.4 million through the Protective Security for Mosques scheme and for security at Muslim faith schools. In addition, up to £10 million of emergency funding has been made available for Muslim communities to further strengthen security measures at their places of worship and other community sites.
This additional funding is available for financial year 2025/26 only.
