Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether the total value of approved applications for Police Special Grant exceeds the total amount available in Special Grant funding.

Applications for Special Grant funding go through a staged approval process including an assessment undertaken by Her Majesty’s Inspectorate of Constabulary and Fire & Rescue Services.

Details of Special Grant funding application are published on the Gov.uk website after the end of each financial year. https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/police-funding-special-grant-guidance/special-grant-guidance#home-office-guidance-for-special-grant-funding
