Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, if she will introduce an independent mechanism for police pay.

The Police Remuneration Review Body (PRRB) is an independent body that considers and make recommendations to the Government on the appropriate level of pay and allowances for police officers. The Home Secretary’s remit letter asks the PRRB for recommendations on how to apply the pay award for 2022/23.

The PRRB gathers and invites parties to submit evidence to inform its decisions. This includes both written and oral evidence from the Government, police employers and police staff associations. The PRRB weigh the evidence, consider independent research, and formulate detailed recommendations.
