Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what steps her Department is taking to help tackle homophobia in the Metropolitan Police force.

Any form of discrimination in policing is completely unacceptable.

Since the publication of Louise Casey’s 2023 review the MPS has taken action through its ‘New Met for London Plan’. In December 2025 the MPS and Mayor of London announced an independent review of the force’s progress against Baroness Casey’s 2023 report, chaired by Dr Gillian Fairfield.

The Government also supports the aims of the National Police Chiefs’ Council (NPCC) and College of Policing’s ‘National policing culture and inclusion strategy’ which aims to tackle discrimination within policing.
