Shabana Mahmood

Labour — Birmingham Ladywood

Speaking in the House of Commons on 5 January 2026

Debate

Police Efficiency

Contribution

That is why we have our neighbourhood policing guarantee: to get those police officers back on the beat and in neighbourhoods, providing reassurance and dealing with the types of crimes that we know are going up, which have a huge and deleterious effect on our communities. Of course, total funding for territorial police forces and counter-terrorism policing will be up to £19.5 billion, which is an increase on 2025-26.
