Minister for Police (Dame ): My rt hon Friend, the Home
Secretary, has today laid before the House the Police Grant
Report (England and Wales) 2025-26 (HC 621). The Report sets out
the Home Secretary's determination for 2025-26 of the aggregate
amounts of grants that she proposes to pay under section 46(2) of
the Police Act 1996. Copies of the Report are available from the
Vote Office.
With this additional funding, overall funding for policing will
total up to £19.6 billion in 2025-26, an increase of up to £1.1
billion when compared to the 2024-25 settlement. Of this amount,
funding available to Police and Crime Commissioners (PCCs) for
their local police force will be up to £17.5 billion an increase
of up to an additional £1.1 billion in 2025-26, a 6.6% cash
increase and 4.1% real terms increase. This includes an
additional £100 million for Neighbourhood Policing above that
announced at the provisional police funding settlement. This
assumes PCCs make use of the full precept flexibility of £14 for
English forces.
This settlement demonstrates the Government's continued
commitment to putting officers back on the beat in communities
across the country, and giving forces the resources to keep the
public safe. We look forward to working with officers and police
staff across the country on our shared ambition to make our
streets safer.

including precept.
