Emergency Services: Finance
The question
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what steps she is taking with Cabinet colleagues to increase funding for emergency services.
Answered by Darren Jones
The Government is committed to supporting our vital emergency services.
That is why in 2025/26 we have increased health spending by £22.6 billion relative to 2023/24, policing funding by £1.1 billion and standalone Fire and Rescue Authorities by £65.5 million compared to 2024/25.
Funding settlements for emergency services over the next three years will be set out in June’s Spending Review.
