answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/09/2023 answer text <p>The government recognises that the current police funding formula is out of date and no longer accurately reflects demand on policing. A review of the funding formula was launched in Autumn 2021 to ensure that it fairly and transparently distributes the circa £8.6bn of annual core grant funding across the 43 police forces in England and Wales.</p><p>We are working towards completing the first phase of the review and are considering the demands facing each police force and the relative impact of local factors on forces. We have engaged closely with the policing sector throughout the review, and this work continues.</p> answering member constituency Croydon South answering member printed Chris Philp question first answered 06/09/2023 11:39:12 answering member 4503 label Biography information for Chris Philp
