Police: Finance
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether she has considered reviewing the national funding formula for police forces.
Answered by Dame Diana Johnson
To support the delivery of the Safer Streets Mission, broader policing reform is necessary to address the challenges faced by policing and help the system to deliver effective and efficient policing to the public.
The allocation of funding to police forces remains an important consideration.
This Government is committed to ensuring that police forces have the resources they need. As with previous years, decisions on police force funding allocations will be made via the annual police funding settlement.
