The question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, if it remains her policy to move to a multi-year police settlement model.

Answered by Sarah Jones

The Government recognises the importance of funding certainty to enable policing to deliver for their communities and is committed to giving police the resources they need to tackle crime. That is why the Chancellor has announced a real terms increase in police spending power over the next three years.

As with previous years, more detail on force funding allocations for 2026-27 will be set out at the forthcoming police funding settlement.
