This will give police and other local authorities in England a breathing space when setting their budgets for next year.</p><p>The Home Office continues to gather evidence of forces’ additional Covid-19 related expenditures since the introduction of social distancing measures, de-veloped in close consultation with policing sector finance leads. We will use this evidence base to inform cross-Government decisions on the police’s fu-ture funding needs.</p> answering member printed Baroness Williams of Trafford question first answered 30/07/2020 14:14:34 answering member 4311 label Biography information for Baroness Williams of Trafford
