Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, pursuant to the statement of 21 July 2015 on Police Funding: England and Wales, HCWS 164, what the effect on Greater Manchester Police will be of following the replacement of the Police Allocation Formula.

The Government is currently consulting on reform of police funding arrangements in England and Wales. The consultation seeks views on the principles of the Government’s proposed model.

Final allocations for police force areas have not been set and will not be determined until we have consulted on the principles.

We will publish a Government response setting out force level impacts in due course.
