Forensic Science Regulator and Biometrics Strategy Bill

"I absolutely understand. I was referring to victims whose crimes are not punished, but it is important that the justice system gets it right. Sometimes people will be wrongly accused, and contaminated evidence giving a misleading impression is not a good outcome for anyone either.

The Forensic Science Regulator’s 2020 …..."

Forensic Science Regulator and Biometrics Strategy Bill

"The Minister makes a very good financial case for investing in forensics. It will lead not only to better outcomes in criminal justice but potentially to cost savings from resources. That does not mean that he should wander away from the manifesto commitment to replace almost all the police officers …..."

Forensic Science Regulator and Biometrics Strategy Bill

"That is so important for victims. Most people would not like the experience of going before a court, even if it is to testify against someone whose wrongdoing consists of fairly minor infractions, because there is a time cost and inconvenience. In really serious cases—for example, if someone is the …..."

Written Question
Police: Recruitment
Monday 8th June 2020

Asked by: Wes Streeting (Labour - Ilford North)

Question to the Home Office:

What assessment she has made of the adequacy of Government funding allocated to the recruitment of 6,000 police officers by March 2021.

Answered by Kit Malthouse

This Government is delivering on the people’s priorities by giving policing the biggest funding increase in a decade.

In total we’re increasing the funding available to the policing system by over £1bn this year.

In order to help recruit we are giving PCCs an additional £700 million this year to help deliver the recruitment of 6,000 additional officers by the end of March 2021; we have already recruited 3000 new officers.

We are giving the police the resources they need to fight crime and keep the public safe.
