Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what assessment she has made of the adequacy of the National and International Capital City Grant.

This government provided the first uplift to the National and International Capital City Grant in six years at the 2025-26 Police Funding Settlement, an increase of £63.3m.

The 2026-27 final Police Funding Settlement allocated £255.2 million for the NICC grant. Future police funding allocations will be confirmed at the 2027-28 Police Funding Settlement in the usual way.

The MPS received £4 billion for policing in London in 26-27, and is the highest funded police force per head of population in England and Wales.
