Labour — Birmingham Ladywood

Speaking in the House of Commons on 26 January 2026

Debate

Police Reform White Paper

Contribution

I will say more about specific funding decisions in the coming days, but let me reassure my hon. Friend that we absolutely recognise the role that violence reduction units play in dealing with knife crime in particular. Let me also reassure her that local police areas within regional forces will ensure that every community, wherever it is, gets the high standard of service that everyone deserves.
