Police: Reorganisation

Asked by James McMurdockIndependentHome OfficeTabled Answered 4 February 2026UIN 109033

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, pursuant to her Department’s press release entitled ‘White paper sets out reforms to policing’ published on 26 January 2026, when the National Police Service will be established.

Answered by Sarah Jones

We will start work immediately to set up the National Police Service and legislate for it as soon as Parliamentary time allows.

It will first host national services such as IT and the National Police Air Service and later bring in national crime-fighting responsibilities.
