Bribery: Slough

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether he has had discussions with the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities on allegations of bribery in property development approvals in Slough.

Answer

The Government is committed to the fight against corruption, which threatens the UK’s national security, prosperity and reputation as a fair, open society, and a good place to do business.

The Government confirmed a total police funding settlement of up to £18.5 billion in 2024-25, an increase of up to £886.1 million when compared to 2023-24.

Decisions on how funding and resources are utilised are an operational matter for Chief Constables and locally elected Police and Crime Commissioners, who are best placed to make resourcing decisions within their communities based on their local knowledge and experience.
