Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how much was spent by police forces on celebrating Pride Month in June (a) 2023 and (b) 2024.

The Home Office does not hold this information.

Decisions on how funding and resources are utilised are an operational matter for Chief Constables and locally elected Police and Crime Commissioners, who are best placed to make resourcing decisions within their communities based on their local knowledge and experience.
