The question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what assessment she has made of the potential impact of the revised neighbourhood policing figures for 29 police forces in England and Wales, published on 19 March 2025 on the neighbourhood policing grant allocations published on 9 April 2025.

Answered by Dame Diana Johnson

Grant funding allocations for neighbourhood policing in 2025/26 were calculated using the Police Funding Formula.

As allocations were made based on the Police Funding Formula, the revised neighbourhood policing figures have no bearing on the grant allocations.
