PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Police: Finance (15 September 2015)

Question Asked

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what steps she has taken to ensure that the ongoing police funding formula consultation contains an adequate equality impact assessment.

Asked by:
Mike Kane (Labour)

Answer

The consultation on police funding arrangements closed on 15 September and the responses are being analysed. The Government will consider these responses carefully to determine what changes, if any, are required. At this stage final force-level allocations have not been set and will not be determined until we have completed our analysis. We will continue to engage with policing partners during this process and intend to provide information, including exemplifications of future allocations, as these develop.

Alongside the development of the new funding model, we are developing a Policy Equalities Statement which will set out how this work has been completed in compliance with the Public Sector Equality Duty.
