The Home Office publishes a Police Grant Report on an annual basis. The Report sets out the Home Secretary’s determination, made under section 46(2) of the Police Act 1996, of:
- the aggregate amount of grants for police purposes paid under Section 46, and;
- the amount of grant paid to pay each local policing body in England and Wales under the same section.
The Report includes a definition of the indicators used to calculate Police Main Grant, including population. A copy of the most recent Report for 2024-25 has been placed in the Libraries of both Houses and can be found online:
