To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what steps she is taking to ensure that the Government's policing reforms do not undermine local authorities' relationships with police forces, in the context of safeguarding vulnerable adults and children.
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what steps she is taking to ensure that the Government's policing reforms do not undermine local authorities' relationships with police forces, in the context of safeguarding vulnerable adults and children.
In January 2026, the Home Office published the Police Reform White Paper, setting out the most significant reforms to policing in nearly 200 years. These reforms are designed to ensure policing can respond effectively to evolving crime threats and the challenges facing communities today.
A key element of the reforms is the introduction of a stronger local policing tier through the creation of Local Policing Units, bringing policing closer to communities. Led by designated Local Police Commanders, these will focus on local priorities, including responding to emergencies, preventing and investigating crime, and supporting safer neighbourhoods. Aligning Local Policing Units with local authority
Police play a crucial role in multi-agency safeguarding arrangements, and we remain committed to strengthening collaboration between policing, local authorities and health partners to ensure people remain safeguarded from harm.
To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the merits of granting local authorities and the police greater powers to regulate aggressive street beggars and other disruptive or antisocial behaviours by members of the street community.

As we work to deliver the National Plan to End Homelessness, one principle must be clear – no one should be criminalised for simply rough sleeping. That is why we have repealed the outdated Vagrancy Act 1824. The legislation did nothing to target the root causes of homelessness.
Through the Crime and Policing Act, we have introduced replacement measures where the repeal of the Vagrancy Act would have left gaps in the powers available to the police. This includes an offence of facilitating begging for gain that is intended to address organised begging, which is often facilitated by criminal gangs, exploits vulnerable individuals, and can undermine the public’s sense of safety. We are also making our streets and neighbourhoods safer by strengthening the powers available to the police and other agencies to tackle anti-social behaviour. Our new Respect Orders will give local agencies stronger enforcement capability to tackle the most relentless adult anti-social behaviour offenders.
Where there is harm or anti-social behaviour, local areas should act, using proportionate enforcement, where necessary. The Anti-Social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act 2014 provides the police, local authorities and other local agencies with a range of tools and powers that they can use to respond to anti-social behaviour. The powers in the 2014 Act are deliberately local in nature, and it is for local agencies to determine whether their use is appropriate in the specific circumstances.
We will publish updated statutory guidance, alongside an Outreach Toolkit to provide advice on designing and delivering services, including the role of enforcement.
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what funding her Department has provided since 4 July 2024 for (a) drug driving enforcement, (b) toxicology services relating to drug driving offences and (c) the National Roads Policing Coordination Centre's drink and drug driving workstream.
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what funding her Department has provided since 4 July 2024 for (a) drug driving enforcement, (b) toxicology services relating to drug driving offences and (c) the National Roads Policing Coordination Centre's drink and drug driving workstream.
The Department is providing £2.7 million per year for three years for the Roads Policing Innovation Programme, working with the National Police Chiefs’ Council and the Home Office to strengthen national roads policing coordination. This funding supports the programme as a whole, including work on impaired driving. Core police funding, operational deployment and forensic toxicology capacity remain matters for the Home Office, Chief Constables and Police and Crime Commissioners.
On road risk prevention orders, the Department has recently consulted on similar issues through its motoring offences consultation. This included seeking views on temporary licence suspension for those suspected of drink or drug driving until court attendance, guilty plea or while bailed pending forensic analysis, and on suspending licences for those under investigation for serious driving offences resulting in death or serious injury.
The Department also intends to publish a response to the 2022 call for evidence on repeat drug-driving offenders alongside the response to the motoring offences consultation. That call for evidence sought views on a drug-driving high-risk offender scheme and a rehabilitation course.
No final decision has been taken on introducing a drug-driving rehabilitation programme, a drug-driving high-risk offender scheme, or linking any interim driving prohibition to course completion or drug testing. Responses to the motoring offences consultation are now being analysed, and it would not be right to pre-empt the outcome of that process.

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what estimate he has made of the cost of implementing the revised Victims’ Code; what estimate he has made of additional staffing requirements across police forces, the Crown Prosecution Service and victim support services; whether implementation has been assessed by police force...
The total present value cost of implementing the new Victims’ Code is estimated to be £11.9 million over a 10-year appraisal period. This includes costs that the police and HMPPS will incur associated with increased interaction with victims. This estimate is based on the draft new Code which we recently consulted on and a full breakdown of the cost benefit analysis can be found in the impact assessment published alongside that consultation: https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/a-new-victims-code.
We are now taking the time to consider nearly 200 responses we received in response to the consultation. We will issue a public response ahead of finalising and then implementing the new Code.
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what recent assessment has been made of the effectiveness of the use of body-worn cameras by police officers.
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what recent assessment has been made of the effectiveness of the use of body-worn cameras by police officers.
The Government recognises the important role that body-worn video can play in supporting effective, transparent and accountable policing. College of Policing and National Police Chief’s Council guidance supports the use of body-worn video during police encounters, including stop and search. Operational decisions on its deployment remain a matter for Chief Constables.
The College of Policing, in its 2024 guidance, highlights that body-worn video can improve evidential capture, support transparency and accountability by providing an objective record of police-public interactions, and strengthen public confidence through facilitating scrutiny of police encounters and the use of police powers.
