	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/03/2018 answer text <p>I announced the police funding settlement for 2018-19 which will see an additional £450m invested in the policing system, around £270m direct to PCCs. This strong and comprehensive settlement combined with the current levels of reserves will enable the vast majority of PCCs to protect or improve frontline policing.</p><p>As at March 2017, PCCs held over £1.6bn of public money in usable resource reserves, significantly more than in 2010-11. Reserves are an important tool for police leaders, but this is taxpayers’ money and we need real transparency about how it is being used. That is why in January the Government published information on police reserves and provided guidance to PCCs making clear that they must be more open with taxpayers about their plans to use them.</p> answering member constituency Ruislip, Northwood and Pinner answering member printed Mr Nick Hurd question first answered 19/03/2018 13:13:05 answering member 1561 label Biography information for Mr Nick Hurd
