Police: Finance
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, with reference to page 11 of the Police reform white paper entitled From Local to National: A New Model for Policing (CP1489), from which financial year does the revised police funding formula apply.
- Answer
-
The White Paper represents the most significant reforms to policing for nearly 200 years. The reforms to our policing system set out in the White Paper will have significant consequences for the way policing is funded in future. Changes to police governance, force mergers and the creation of the National Police Service require a new way of allocating funding between forces, aligned with these new structures.
We will launch an independent review of police force structures, which will report in the summer. Once we have considered the outcome of the review, we will set out further proposals to reflect changes in the new model of policing.
