Minister for Policing (): My Rt Hon Friend, the Home
Secretary, has today laid before the House the Police Grant
Report (England and Wales) 2024-25 (HC 482). The Report sets out
the Home Secretary’s determination for 2024-25 of the aggregate
amount of grants that he proposes to pay under section 46(2) of
the Police Act 1996. Copies of the Report are available from the
Vote Office.
The allocations that have been laid before the House today are as
set out in my Statement and the provisional Police Grant Report
of 14 December 2023.
For 2024-25, overall funding for the policing system will rise by
up to £842.9 million when compared to the restated 2023-24 police
funding settlement, bringing the total settlement for 2024-25 up
to £18.4 billion. Available funding to local policing bodies will
increase next year by up to an additional £922.2 million, if
Police and Crime Commissioners were to take-up the precept
flexibility and using latest forecasts, taking total funding for
local policing bodies to £16.4 billion.
Compared with 2019-20, this represents a total settlement
increase of up to 30.7% in cash terms. Not only has the
Government delivered the funding committed in the Spending Review
2021, the 2024-25 settlement has gone even further to provide
additional funding for policing. This demonstrates the
Governments continued commitment to giving policing the resources
they need to keep the public safe.
The attached table documents funding to PCCs for 2024-25,
including precept.
