The funding settlement for 2019/20, agreed by Parliament on 5 February, provides up to £970 million of additional funding for the police, including the pensions grant and income from council tax precept. In the West Midlands, this means funding of up to £568.6 million, an increase of up to £34.3 million from 2018/19.</p> answering member constituency Ruislip, Northwood and Pinner answering member printed Mr Nick Hurd question first answered 18/02/2019 15:43:29 answering member 1561 label Biography information for Mr Nick Hurd
