North Wales Police: Finance
(asked on 17th March 2021) - View Source
Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how much central government funding, in real terms , has been allocated to North Wales Police in each year for which data is available.
The amount of central funding the Government has allocated to North Wales Police during the annual settlement process is as follows:
Central government funding (including capital) for North Wales Police (£m) | ||||
2021/22 | 2020/21 | 2019/20 | 2018/19 | 2017/18 |
86.4 | 82.2 | 75.3 | 72.2 | 72.2 |
While the majority of funding for the police comes directly from the central Government grants, around a third comes from a share of council tax, known as the police precept. This is not included in the above figures.
The responsibility for setting the precept falls on individual PCCs, and they must consult their local electorate to ensure they explain how additional investment will help deliver a better police service.
This Police Grant Report (England and Wales) 2021/22 (publishing.service.gov.uk) explains the full allocation of police core settlement for 2021/22.
