The question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, pursuant to the Answer of 27 February 2025 to Question 32380 on Cambridgeshire Constabulary: Allowances, what the difference in salary is between a Cambridgeshire police officer and officers from (a) Bedfordshire and (b) Hertfordshire at each rank when South-East allowance is included in the 2024-25 financial year.

Answered by Dame Diana Johnson

There is a national pay structure for all police officers of all ranks in England and Wales. The pay scales with effect from 1 September 2023 are published at Circular 003/2024: Annex F and U, Police Regulations 2003 - GOV.UK.

The pay scales with effect from 1 September 2024 will be published shortly.

In addition to basic pay, determinations made under the Police Regulations 2003 provide that officers in Hertfordshire may receive an allowance of up £3,000 and those in Bedfordshire may receive an allowance of up to £2,000. The amount paid is determined by the chief constable of the relevant force up to the maximum rate provided for in the determinations.
