Police Grant

Proceeding contribution from Andy Slaughter (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 22 February 2017. It occurred during Debate on Police Grant.

Efficiency has increased, but that can take us only so far. My borough is paying for an extra 50 police officers. Londoners are paying £61 in their council tax every year just to make up for the shortfall in the money that should be given to cover national events such as the planned visit of the President of the United States. Will the Minister guarantee that, when he looks further at funding, he will look at what local and regional authorities are contributing at the moment?
