The question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what assessment she has made of the potential impact of the Spending Review 2025 on the number of Metropolitan Police officers.

Paragraph 5.35 of the Spending Review document, published on 11 June, sets out the overall financial allocation for policing in England in Wales.

As usual, more detail on force funding allocations will be set out in the police settlement later this year.
