The question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what steps she is taking to support the Metropolitan Police.

Answered by Dame Diana Johnson

The Metropolitan Police will receive up to 3.8 billion pounds in funding in the current financial year, an increase of more than 262 million when compared to last year’s police settlement.

That includes an increase of more than 63 million pounds in the National and International Capital City Grant, recognising the increased demands on the Met from policing the capital city.

We will continue to work closely with the Met and the Mayor’s Office to support them in keeping Londoners safe.
