Fire and Rescue Services: Cambridgeshire
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what was the per capita funding for Fire and Rescue services in Cambridgeshire each year since 2001/2002.
Answered by Alex Norris
The government calculates the funding available to each Fire and Rescue Authority as a single figure - their core spending power - rather than per capita. In 2025/26, Cambridgeshire Fire and Rescue Authority will have core spending power of £40.3 million. Including the National Insurance Contribution Grant, this is an increase of £1.8 million (4.7 per cent) on 2024/25.
