The question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, if she will commission the National Audit Office to review the financial and skills capacity of the proposed new policing governance structures.

Answered by Sarah Jones

The Home Office is working with policing and local government stakeholders to design and implement future governance arrangements to replace Police and Crime Commissioners from May 2028. We will introduce a system of police governance that maintains consistently high standards of oversight, including arrangements for ensuring strong financial management over policing and the appropriate audit arrangements.
