National Police Air Service: Finance
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what recent assessment she has made of the sufficiency of funding to the National Police Air Service.
Answered by Dame Diana Johnson
The National Police Air Service (NPAS) provides borderless, round-the-clock, crewed police air support across England and Wales.
The Home Office supports NPAS through the provision of an annual capital grant. For the Financial Year 2024/25, this grant is £11.46m. The NPAS revenue budget is funded through contributions from police forces. For Financial Year 2024/25 this budget is £49.6m.
Funding for future financial years will be agreed as part of the ongoing Spending Review.
