Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what the financial contribution is of the London Borough of Havering to the Metropolitan Police; and how much is assigned from the London Metropolitan Police to the London Borough of Havering.

The average (Band D) council tax charge in the Borough of Havering is £1970.97, of which £277 is allocated to the Metropolitan Police. The Government does not collect data on the total amount collected from each borough or how those funds are allocated, as this is a matter for the Mayor’s Office for Policing and Crime and the Metropolitan Police.

Total funding for the Metropolitan Police in 2022-23 will be over £3 billion, of which around £849 million will come from council tax precept.
