Question to the Home Office:
What recent assessment she has made of the adequacy of police resources during the covid-19 outbreak.
Throughout the pandemic we have worked with all police forces to understand the pressures they are experiencing as a result of COVID-19. As a result, we have ensured the police have the resources they need to enforce COVID-19 regulations and continue to keep the public safe.
The total amount of additional funding made available to forces since the start of the pandemic is nearly £200 million.
