PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Police: Finance (15 September 2015)

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, if she will publish the exemptions requested by police and crime commissioners and chief constables in the ongoing police funding formula consultation; what progress has been made on that review; and if she will make a statement.

Asked by:
Mike Kane (Labour)

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.
