Spending Review
PN A14
12 July 2004
The Government today announced spending plans for the Northern Ireland Office (NIO) to modernise public services. The NIO budget continue to support reforms in policing and the criminal justice and prison services, and programmes to prevent and tackle crime and re-offending.
The Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, Paul Murphy, said:
“I welcome the settlement for the Northern Ireland Office which the Chancellor has announced today. The resources which have been made available will be used to continue to implement the Government’s policies in Northern Ireland and to move the peace process forward.
The spending review demonstrates the Government’s commitment to improving the efficiency and productivity of public services and modernising the workings of government. I look forward to continuing with the wide ranging programme of reform to the police and prison services, and indeed to the whole of the criminal justice system. We are determined to increase confidence in the justice system and reduce crime in Northern Ireland.”
