Answer
The Government has committed to providing funding to help secure the National Wildlife Crime Unit until at least the end of March next year.
With the Spending Review concluded, Defra is now looking at what this settlement means in terms of the detailed allocation of its budgets. Ministers will be making decisions about the funding of the NWCU beyond March as part of this process and will confirm the funding position as soon as possible in the new year.
