Written question asked by Neil Coyle (Labour) on Tuesday, 14 July 2026, in the House of Commons. It was due for an answer on Thursday, 16 July 2026. It was answered by Sarah Jones (Labour) on Monday, 20 July 2026 on behalf of the Home Office.


Community Safety Partnerships

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether her Department has made an assessment of the potential merits of using any of the savings from abolishing Police and Crime Commissioners to help fund Community Safety Partnerships.

Answer

Abolishing Police and Crime Commissioners (PCCs) is expected to save the taxpayer around £100m in this Parliament. Savings from cancelling future PCC elections will be retained by the Exchequer with the remainder reinvested back into policing.

Funding for Community Safety Partnerships (CSP) is provided locally by partners. We are working closely with other government departments to consider how existing partnership arrangements, including CSPs, should operate within the new police governance system.
