Police Grant Report

Debate between Jess Phillips and Caroline Nokes

Wednesday 5th February 2025 Commons Chamber

[Jess Phillips]

Earlier, I heard everybody groan on your Benches—

[Madam Deputy Speaker (Caroline Nokes)]

Order. They are not my Benches.

[Jess Phillips]

I apologise, Madam Deputy Speaker—they are definitely not your Benches. I heard groaning earlier about the black hole that was left. The shadow Minister makes a point about the uplift in pay, but in this year’s settlement nothing had been put in that budget by his Government to increase the pay of police officers. Nothing was put into the budget, because that was the way that they operated.
