Written question asked by Lord Lucas (Conservative) on Monday, 7 July 2025, in the House of Lords. It was due for an answer on Monday, 21 July 2025. It was answered by Lord Hanson of Flint (Labour) on Monday, 21 July 2025 on behalf of the Home Office.


Police: Redundancy

Question

To ask His Majesty's Government how many (1) police officers of the rank of constable up to chief inspector, and (2) police civilian employees, have been made redundant in the last year from each police force.

Answer

The Home Office collects and publishes data annually on the number of police officers, police community support officers, police staff, designated officers and special constables leaving the police force as at 31 March each year in the ‘Police Workforce, England and Wales’ statistical bulletin. However, this does not include a specific category for redundancies, and that information is not centrally held by the Home Office.
