Emergency Services Network
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether the revised Programme Business Case for the Emergency Services Network has received Departmental and HM Treasury approval.
Answered by Sarah Jones
The Emergency Services Mobile Communications Programme’s revised Business Case (PBC 2025) was approved by the Home Office Investment Committee on 18 December 2025.
The PBC has subsequently been submitted to HM Treasury and is currently undergoing the Treasury Approval Point process, including consideration by HM Treasury and the Chief Secretary to the Treasury.
Final government approval is expected following completion of this process in April 2026.
The Programme continues to operate within agreed funding and remains subject to the Government’s established assurance and approvals framework.
