Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, if he will make an assessment of the potential merits of increasing funding to West Midlands Police for the policing of road traffic collisions.
West Midlands Police’s funding will be up to £790.4m in 2024/25, an increase of up to £51.1m when compared to 2023/24.
The policing of fatal and serious injury road collisions and how available resources are deployed in the West Midlands is the responsibility of the West Midlands Police Constable and Police and Crime Commissioner, taking into account the specific local problems and demands with which they are faced.
