Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what consultation has taken place with (a) Police and Crime Commissioners and (b) police staff associations on the establishment of the proposed National Centre of Policing.

The Home Office has been working with policing partners on police reform, including through the Joint Police Reform Team.

This has included engagement with local police chiefs, police and crime commissioners and staff associations. We will publish the White Paper later this year.
