Single Intelligence Account
The security and intelligence agencies. In 2025-26 the bodies in this section spent £4.9bn on services. £0 of it (0.0%) can be followed to who received it, and at most 0.0% counting payees who are named but can't be identified yet.
- Reached an identified organisation
- Reached a recipient the publisher did not name
- Reached people, counted by benefit
- Reached staff (pay) or holders of government debt (interest), followed as one published total
- Named payee, not yet identified (may be another public body)
- Not followed
How far it is followed, and why the rest can't be
- Not published
The security and intelligence agencies do not publish payment-level spending.
- Below the publication threshold
Payments under £25,000 (central government and the NHS) or £500 (councils) are not published one by one. Some publishers list every payment anyway; most do not.
- Staff pay
Wages are never published person by person. No published figure gives this section's pay, so none is counted.
Where the records come from
Each publisher's 2025-26 payment records, and where their money went. "Identified" means matched to a registered company, charity or other organisation outside government; "named only", a payee named in the record but not yet matched; "passed on", paid to another public body.
No payment records from this section are held for 2025-26.
