Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, if she will meet the hon. Member for North Cornwall and the Police and Crime Commissioner for Devon and Cornwall to discuss the future allocation of funding for summer street marshalling schemes similar to that which was in place in Bude during summer 2020.

Devon and Cornwall Police will receive total funding of up to £338.4 million in 2020-21, an increase of up to £23.2 million compared to 2019-20.

Decisions on how to use this funding, including the scheme referenced here, are taken locally. I am in regular contact with all PCCs, and look forward to future discussions with the Hon Member and the Police and Crime Commissioner for Devon and Cornwall.
