The Spending Review increases spending on crime, justice and communities by £3.5 billion by 2007-08 compared with 2004-05.

This supports the Home Office, the Department for Constitutional Affairs and the Attorney General's Departments in continuing to drive down crime, deliver justice and support stronger local communities.

The Home Office's budget will rise by more than £2.1 billion by 2007-08, equivalent to annual average real terms growth of 2.7 per cent, building on record increases in the 2000 and 2002 Spending Review periods. The Home Office will also realise annual efficiency savings of almost £2 billion by 2007-08. "
