Intelligence and Security Committee: Finance
The question
To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, with reference to the answer of 15 April 2026 to Question 119907 on Intelligence and Security Committee: Finance, what the value is of the increase in budgeting and resourcing; and in which financial year it will commence.
Answered by Dame Angela Eagle
Following a formal request from the Intelligence and Security Committee (ISC) Chair, Lord Beamish, the ISC baseline budget for the 2025/26 financial year was increased to £2.5 million to enable the secretariat to expand toward a target headcount of 30 Full-Time Equivalent (FTE) staff.
To ensure the ongoing viability of this expansion, a further budgetary uplift has been agreed for the 2026/27 financial year.
