Police: Finance

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what measures of rural deprivation are used by her Department when calculating police funding formulas.

Reforming the police funding formula remains a key priority for this Government and we are engaging with the sector to look at the options for taking this forward. We will not take further decisions until we have considered the conclusions of this process. Any new arrangements would be subject to public consultation before implementation.
