Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what meetings she has held with organisations representing police officers on the subject of police remuneration since taking office; which bodies were represented at those meetings; what issues were discussed; and what steps she is taking in response to concerns raised in those engagements.

Home Office Ministers have regular discussions with policing organisations and those representing police officers, covering a range of issues.

The Government is committed to the independent Police Remuneration Review Body (PRRB) and Senior Salaries Review Body (SSRB) processes, which remain the mechanism for considering the appropriate level of pay and allowances for police officers.

The PRRB and SSRB invite and receive submissions from a range of stakeholders, including the Government, policing bodies, and staff associations. The Government will give very careful consideration to the PRRB and SSRB’s recommendations.
