To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer how much income has been received in respect of the marine land owned by the Crown Estate around Northern Ireland in the most recent financial year; and how much funding from that income has been allocated to the Coastal Communities Fund in Northern Ireland.

The size of the Coastal Communities Fund is equal to 50% of the revenues generated by the Crown Estate's marine assets. From its marine activities in 2012-13, the Crown Estate generated £1.2 million of revenue in Northern Ireland. This formed the basis for calculating the 2014-15 Northern Ireland Coastal Communities Fund budget of £0.6 million.
