Police: Resignations
Asked by: Lord Grocott (Labour - Life peer) Tuesday 23rd September 2025 Question to the Home Office: To ask His Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Lord Hanson of Flint on 17 July (HL9084), how many police officers left the force in the year ending 31 March 2025, broken down by how many served (1) for less than 12 months, (2) between 12 months and 5 years, (3) between 5 years and 10 years, and (4) over 10 years. Answered by Lord Hanson of Flint - Minister of State (Home Office) The Home Office collects and publishes data annually on the number of police officer leavers in the ‘Police Workforce, England and Wales’ statistical bulletin. Information on the length of service of leavers is available in table JL6 of the data tables accompanying the publication. Table 1: Police officer leavers (headcount) by length of service in the year ending 31 March 2025, England and Wales.
Note:
The retention of all officers, both new recruits and experienced officers remain essential to increasing public confidence in policing. This is why forces should be using strong evidence-based strategies to support retention and progression of existing officers, as well as continuing to recruit new officers using high quality recruitment processes that maintain standards. |

Local Government: Reform
Asked by: Lord Grocott (Labour - Life peer) Tuesday 23rd September 2025 Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government: To ask His Majesty's Government how much has been spent to date by (1) the local authorities involved, and (2) His Majesty's Government, in preparing to reform local government in accordance with the English Devolution and Community Empowerment Bill. Answered by Baroness Taylor of Stevenage - Baroness in Waiting (HM Household) (Whip) The Government does not centrally hold information about how much local authorities and the Government have spent on preparing for the reform of local government.
A full impact assessment has been conducted by the Government as part of the requirements for the English Devolution and Community Empowerment Bill. It was given a green rating by the Regulatory Policy Committee, indicating it is fit for purpose. The IA has considered costs across the Bill’s policies which will reform local government, and it has been determined these will not be disproportionate and the relevant mitigations will be in place where required. The impact assessment has been published online and can be found here. |
