Police: Equality
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how much police forces in England and Wales spent on roles related to equity, diversity and inclusion in the last three years.
Answered by Dame Diana Johnson
The Home Office does not hold information relating to how much money is spent by police forces on roles related to equity, diversity and inclusion.
Decisions on how funding and resources are utilised are an operational matter for Chief Constables and locally elected Police and Crime Commissioners, who are best placed to make resourcing decisions within their communities based on their local knowledge and experience.
