Fire and Rescue Services and Police: Employers' Contributions
Asked by: Lord Davies of Gower (Conservative - Life peer) Thursday 5th June 2025 Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government: To ask His Majesty's Government how much funding they have allocated to (1) the police service, and (2) the fire and rescue service in 2025–26 to cover the cost of the rise in employers' National Insurance contributions; what methodology they used to calculate the amount allocated to each service; and what methodology they used to calculate the funding allocated to (a) standalone fire and rescue authorities, and (b) fire and rescue services that are part of a county council. Answered by Baroness Taylor of Stevenage - Baroness in Waiting (HM Household) (Whip) As of 1 April 2025, Ministerial responsibility for Fire transferred from the Home Office to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG). Home Office retains Ministerial responsibility for policing. Home Office has paid £230.3 million of funding for territorial police forces to cover the costs of the increases to National Insurance Contributions. Funding for National Insurance increases to the police is allocated according to total workforce headcount shares as at 31 March 2024. In recognition of the decision to increase employer National Insurance Contributions, MHCLG has provided £515 million to local authorities in England. This includes standalone Fire and Rescue Authorities, as well as Fire and Rescue Authorities that are part of a county council. Allocations are based on local authorities’ net current expenditure. Payments to local authorities are un-ringfenced to allow for discretion over the use of funds in their area. This funding can be used to mitigate the additional costs of employer National Insurance Contributions within direct, commissioned, and externally provided local services, for example.
