Suffolk Constabulary: Finance

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, on what grounds she decided the level of funding for Suffolk Constabulary; and if she will review that funding.

Answer

Suffolk Police’s funding will be up to £171.5m in 2024-25. This is in addition to £1.5m provided for the 2024-25 pay award which has been allocated outside of the police funding settlement.

The Home Secretary has already announced over half a billion of additional central government funding for policing in 2025-26 and has confirmed that police forces will be fully compensated for the changes to employer National Insurance contributions. Further funding and detail will be set out in the police funding settlement in the normal way.

Force level funding allocations for the financial year 2025-26, including funding for employers National Insurance Contributions, will also be confirmed at the forthcoming police funding settlement. Funding for future years beyond 2025-26 will be set out in phase 2 of the Spending Review.
