The question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what estimate she has made of the percentage of the National Crime Agency’s core annual budget for each of the last five years that was spent on tackling economic crime and corruption.

Answered by Dame Angela Eagle

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.
