National and International Capital City Grant

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, which cities are receiving funding through the National and International Capital City Grant.

Answered by Sarah Jones

The National and International Capital City (NICC) grant is paid to the Metropolitan Police and City of London Police to reflect the unique demands of policing in London, a major international capital city.

Decisions on the allocation of NICC funding are taken at the time of the Police Settlement. The NICC is partially funded from a reallocation of the core funding for all police forces and as such, decisions on the level of the funding must consider its impact on wider policing.
