1. Introduction

1.1 This Report is prepared by the Secretary of State for the Home Department (the Home Secretary) under section 46(3) of the Police Act 1996 (the 1996 Act).

1.2 This Report sets out the Home Secretary鈥檚 determination for 2023-24, made under section 46(2) of the 1996 Act, of the aggregate amount of grants for police purposes that she proposes to pay under section 46, and the amount of grants she proposes to pay each local policing body^{[footnote 1]} under the same section. The aggregate amount of grants for police purposes comprises the Home Office Police Main Grant, Department for Communities and Local Government (DCLG) [now Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities (DLUHC)] Formula Funding, Legacy Council Tax Grants, National and International Capital City Grants, Welsh Top-Up Grant, and Precept Grant. This determination has been approved by the Treasury as required by section 46(2) of the 1996 Act.

1.3 The Report also states the considerations which the Home Secretary took into account in making her determination.

1.4 In determining the allocation among local policing bodies of the whole or any part of the aggregate amount of grants for police purposes, the Home Secretary may, under section 46(4) of the 1996 Act, exercise her discretion in applying such formulae or other rules as she considers appropriate.

1.5 The Home Secretary has decided to continue to apply damping in a way that ensures every local policing body receives the same percentage increase in the totality of formula funding. Therefore, the allocations of Police Main Grant and DCLG Formula Funding that were provided to local policing bodies in 2022-23 have been increased in line with the total overall increase of these grant streams in 2023-24. Funding allocations for both financial years are based on the Police Allocation Formula distribution from 2013-14. This Report sets out information on the formula that was applied to the Police Main Grant element of the Police Core Settlement in 2013-14 as well as referencing separate documentation which sets out the method used to allocate 2013-14 DCLG Formula Funding.

1.6 As in each year since 2013-14, DCLG Formula Funding will be paid to local policing bodies by the Home Secretary under section 46 of the Police Act 1996. It is therefore included in this Report. This is as a result of the Government鈥檚 decision that local policing bodies should be funded from outside the business rates retention scheme.

1.7 Council Tax Freeze Grant funding relating to the 2011-12, 2013-14, 2014-15 and 2015-16 schemes and Local Council Tax Support (LCTS) funding previously paid to local policing bodies in England by the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government under section 31 of the Local Government Act 2003, will in 2023-24 also be paid to local policing bodies by the Home Secretary under section 46 of the Police Act 1996. It is therefore included in this Report. This is a result of the Government鈥檚 ambition to simplify police funding arrangements.

1.8 This Report does not set out the totality of central Government funding to local policing bodies in England and Wales. It does not cover the police grant for the safeguarding of national security made under section 48(1) of the 1996 Act. Neither does it cover grants paid to local policing bodies in Wales by the Welsh Government. This report also does not cover pensions grant funding paid to local policing bodies under section 31 of the Local Government Act 2003 by the Home Office. The Common Council of the City of London (on behalf of the City of London Police) and the Greater London Authority (on behalf of the Mayor鈥檚 Office for Policing and Crime) also have access to Council Tax Freeze Grant funding through the DLUHC Local Government Finance Settlement. This Report does not cover this funding. In addition, pursuant to section 169 of the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994, the Home Secretary hereby determines that 拢275,000,000 of grant funding will be made available to local policing bodies to support, beyond March 2023, the maintenance and retention of an overall officer headcount comprising of police forces鈥� agreed Police Uplift baseline plus their allocation of the 20,000 additional police officers recruited through the Police Uplift Programme. The funding allocations for this 拢275,000,000 are intended to be based on the Police Allocation Formula distribution from 2013-14. Further details, including any conditions to which this grant funding is to be made subject, will be communicated to, and agreed with local policing bodies in due course.

1.9 This Report also does not set out the totality of police funding. Local policing bodies raise a substantial proportion of their funding locally through Council Tax Precept. In addition, the Home Office reallocates funding for national policing priorities. The accompanying Written Ministerial Statement sets out the Government鈥檚 plans for the other elements of police funding.

2. Aggregate amount of grants

2.1 Pursuant to section 46(2) (a) of the 1996 Act, the Home Secretary hereby determines that the aggregate amount of grants for police purposes to be made under section 46 is 拢9,223,959,522 (comprising 拢5,074,537,776 in Home Office Police Core Settlement, 拢507,388,388 in Legacy Council Tax Grants, 拢190,173,525 in National and International Capital City Grants, 拢63,531,875 in Welsh Top-Up Grant, 拢6,446,401 in Precept Grant and 拢3,381,881,557 in DCLG Formula Funding).

3. Allocation of aggregate amount of grants

3.1 Pursuant to section 46(2) (b) of the 1996 Act, the Home Secretary hereby determines that subject to footnotes 4 to 10 below, the aggregate amount of grants for police purposes to be paid to each local policing body in 2023-24^{[footnote 2]} is the amount shown against its name in column (f) of the table below.

4. Considerations taken into account

4.1 Pursuant to section 46(3) of the 1996 Act, the considerations which the Home Secretary took into account in making her determination are set out in sections 4.2 to 4.9 below.

Police Allocation Formula

4.2 The Police Main Grant element of the Police Core Settlement has been distributed on a pro-rata basis to the 2022-23 Police Main Grant allocations. This approach is consistent with the distribution of Police Main Grant in the previous eight years. The 2013-14 amounts were allocated according to the needs-based Police Allocation Formula described in Appendix A.

Special Payment to the Greater London Authority, on behalf of the Mayor鈥檚 Office for Policing and Crime and the Common Council of the City of London, on behalf of the City of London Police

4.3 The Home Secretary has decided that both the Greater London Authority, on behalf of the Mayor鈥檚 Office for Policing and Crime, and the Common Council of the City of London, on behalf of the City of London Police, should receive additional funding in recognition of both police forces鈥� distinct national and international capital city functions. These grants shall total 拢185,339,439 for the Mayor鈥檚 Office for Policing and Crime and 拢4,834,086 for the City of London Police. These shall be funded through a reallocation from within the overall police settlement.

Special Payment to the Common Council of the City of London, on behalf of the City of London Police

4.4 The Home Secretary has decided that the Common Council of the City of London, on behalf of the City of London Police, should receive additional funding in recognition that the Common Council of the City of London does not have a police precept and therefore will not benefit from any flexibility in council tax referendum principles in 2023-24. This Precept grant shall be 拢6,446,401. This shall be funded through a reallocation from within the overall police settlement.

Additional Rule 1

4.5 The Home Secretary has decided that Police Main Grant allocations for local policing bodies in Wales shall be varied to ensure they shall receive, in Police Main Grant and local authority general grants, the same change (increase or decrease) as that applicable to local policing bodies in England. On this basis, an Additional Rule 1 adjustment has not been made for this year, as all Welsh Forces require additional funding to meet the increase applicable to policing bodies in England, which is met through the Welsh Top-Up described in section 4.6.

Welsh Top-Up

4.6 The Home Secretary has further decided that in order that they shall receive the same change (increase or decrease) in Police Main Grant and local authority general grants as that applicable to local policing bodies in England, a specific Welsh Top-Up grant shall be paid to local policing bodies in Wales. The Police and Crime Commissioner for Dyfed-Powys shall receive an additional 拢17,972,180, the Police and Crime Commissioner for Gwent shall receive an additional 拢10,862,471, the Police and Crime Commissioner for North Wales shall receive an additional 拢22,517,262 and the Police and Crime Commissioner for South Wales shall receive an additional 拢12,179,962.

DCLG Formula Funding

4.7 To ensure that all local policing bodies receive the same percentage increase in Government formula funding, allocations of this funding have been distributed pro-rata to the 2022-23 allocations. This was the same approach as taken for the previous nine financial years. The basis for 2013-14 allocations between local policing bodies was set out in 鈥楥alculating the 2013-14 Formula Funding鈥� made by the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, which accompanied the Provisional Local Government Finance Report (England) 2013-14.

Transfer of Special Branch Funding

4.8 As of 2022-23, funding for Special Branch functions in local policing bodies was transferred out of the Police Main Grant to the Counter-Terrorism Policing Grant (paid out for the safeguarding of national security made under section 48(1) of the 1996 Act). In total, 拢43,907,717 was transferred out of the Police Main Grant, with costs met via the Counter-Terrorism Policing Grant. To ensure fairness, each policing body will have their Police Main Grant reduced by the amount they budgeted on their Special Branch function in 2021-22. This is done through a manual adjustment to their Police Main Grant allocations and the result is shown in column (a) of Table 1, after the consideration in section 4.2 has been taken into account. This adjustment is not being made public for security reasons.

Legacy Council Tax Grants

4.9 This funding comprises Council Tax Freeze Grants from the 2011-12, 2013-14, 2014-15 and 2015-16 schemes, payable to local policing bodies (formerly police authorities) in England who chose to freeze or lower precept in those years and the Local Council Tax Support Grant which is paid to local policing bodies in England from 2013-14 following the localisation of council tax support schemes. These funding streams were previously paid to local policing bodies by DCLG. The basis for allocating these funds is the same as in previous years and is available on the DLUHC website. The aggregate amount of these funding streams is shown in Column (c) of the table below.

5. Conclusion

5.1 This Report is made by the Home Secretary under section 46 of the Police Act 1996.

5.2 The financial year for which the Report operates is that beginning on 1 April 2023.

Rt Hon Suella Braverman KC MP

Secretary of State for the Home Department

December 2022

Appendix A : Formula applied by the Home Secretary in 2013-14

A.1 The formula used for distributing Home Office Police Main Grant is the same as the Police Relative Needs Formula used to calculate allocations of DCLG Formula Funding in England and by the Welsh Government in Wales.

A.2 The first stage of the formula is to divide funds between the different activities that the police undertake. These activities, or workloads, can be broken down into five key areas:

• Crime (of which there are seven sub-categories)

• Incidents (e.g. public disorder)

• Traffic (e.g. assistance at road traffic accidents)

• Fear of Crime (e.g. public reassurance)

• Special Events (e.g. football matches)

A.3 A portion of total funding is also distributed according to population sparsity, to address the specific needs of rural forces.

A.4 The second stage is to divide funding for each of these workloads between the 43 local policing bodies of England and Wales. In order to do this, 鈥榳orkload indicators鈥� are calculated to estimate how much work each police force is expected to have in each of the key areas compared to other forces. These estimates are calculated using socio-economic and demographic indicators that are correlated with each workload. Indicators of workload are used rather than data on actual recorded crime levels to account for known variations in recording practices and to avoid creating perverse incentives.

A.5 The formula consists of a basic amount per resident and a basic amount for special events, and top-ups for the five key areas, sparsity and area costs (which takes account for regional differences in costs). These are detailed below:

Basic amount

Police Basic Amount: 14.1412

Special Events Basic Amount: 0.7356

Top-ups

Police Crime Top-up 1

2.1917 multiplied by DAYTIME NET INFLOW PER RESIDENT POPULATION; plus

0.2444 multiplied by LOG OF WEIGHTED BARS PER 100 HECTARES; plus

13.4246 multiplied by INCOME SUPPORT/INCOME BASED JSA/GUARANTEE ELEMENT OF PENSION CREDIT CLAIMANTS; plus

28.2485 multiplied by SINGLE PARENT HOUSEHOLDS

Police Crime Top-up 2

0.0262 multiplied by POPULATION DENSITY; plus

84.1901 multiplied by LONG-TERM UNEMPLOYMENT-RELATED BENEFIT CLAIMANTS

Police Crime Top-up 3

0.0653 multiplied by LOG OF WEIGHTED BARS PER 100 HECTARES; plus

0.0071 multiplied by POPULATION DENSITY; plus

Appendix B: Definition of indicators used to calculate Police Main Grant

Unless otherwise stated, data used to construct indicators for the calculation of Police Main Grant are those available to the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government (鈥榯he Secretary of State鈥�) on 1 October 2012 concerning the constituent authorities of the local policing body providing policing services relevant to the calculation of Police Main Grant.

Constituent authorities for this purpose, and in the definition of population density below, are the relevant billing authorities (in whole or in part) whose area is contained within the area of the local policing body providing policing services. Each of the following is a billing authority a) in England, a district council, a London Borough Council, the Common Council of the City of London, the Council of the Isles of Scilly and a county council which has the functions of a district council; and b) in Wales, a county council and a county borough council.

Data used to construct indicators for this purpose for constituent authorities which are reorganised authorities comprise such data available, unless otherwise stated, on 1 October 2012 concerning the predecessor authorities, or parts of the predecessor authorities, as the Secretary of State considers appropriate. A reorganised authority is an authority subject to a structural, or a structural and boundary change which came into effect on 1 April 1995, 1 April 1996, 1 April 1997, 1 April 1998, 1 April 1999, or 1 April 2000 and which is made by an order under section 17 of the Local Government Act 1992 or under the Local Government Act 1972, as amended by section 1 of the Local Government (Wales) Act 1994, or those where boundaries have been altered under section 323 of the Greater London Authority Act 1999.

In this section a reference to 鈥渢he local policing body鈥� is to be read, in the case of the Metropolitan Police District, as a reference to the Greater London Authority.

The projected total resident population in 2013, as estimated by the Office for National Statistics and published on 28 September 2012 for England and by the Welsh Government and published on 27 May 2010 for Wales.

Daytime net-inflow per resident population

THE DAYTIME NET-INFLOW (as defined below) divided by the total resident population of the local policing body, calculated using information from the 2001 Census.

Daytime net-inflow

The number of persons working but not resident in the local policing body鈥檚 area minus the number of persons resident in but working outside the body鈥檚 area, as estimated by the Secretary of State using information from the 2001 Census.

Log of weighted bars per 100 hectares

The natural logarithm^{[footnote 12]} of:

The number of units that are bars (defined as Standard Industrial Classification 2007 (SIC) 56.30- beverage serving activities), measured at the Community Safety Partnerships (CSP) level, as estimated by the Secretary of State, based on information provided by the Office for National Statistics from the March Inter-departmental Business Register; divided by the number of hectares in the CSP, using information from the 2001 Census which is divided by 100; the result is then multiplied by the number of units that are bars within CSP level;

the above is then divided by the number of bars within the force level area and then summed to the force level area.

Income support/ income based jobseeker鈥檚 allowance / guarantee element of pension credit

The average number of Income Support/ Income based Jobseekers Allowance/ Guarantee Element of Pension Credit claimants, over a period between:

May 2009 and February 2012, using twelve quarterly scans for this period for Income Support/ Guarantee Element of Pension Credit claimants, and

August 2009 and August 2011, using scans made at the end of August of each year for Income based Jobseekers Allowance claimants, as estimated by the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, divided by the resident population at 30 June 2011, as estimated by the Office for National Statistics.

The number of claimants of unemployment-related benefits, currently Jobseeker鈥檚 Allowance and National Insurance credits, who were male and aged under 25 years, averaged over the period between May 2009 and April 2012, calculated using monthly information provided by the Office for National Statistics through NOMIS, divided by the sum of the number of resident males aged 18-64 years and the number of resident females aged 18-59 years at 30 June 2011, as estimated by the Office for National Statistics.

Log of population sparsity

The natural logarithm of POPULATION SPARSITY (as defined below).

The population sparsity of each local policing body measured at Output Area level.

The sum of:

(i)

2 multiplied by the resident population of those Output Areas within the area of the local policing body at the 2001 Census with 0.5 or less residents per hectare, divided by the total resident population of the body, calculated using information from the 2001 Census; and

(ii)
