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.
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.
