Reports have suggested that Ms Reeves has promsed a real-terms increase in police funding but the increased police funding will only be achieved through cuts to other areas of the Home Office’s day-to-day budget, it is understood.
Unprotected departments, for which the Government has made no specific spending promises, including the Home Office and the Communities, are facing real-terms cuts in their spending in the latter years of this decade.
Overall day-to-day departmental spending will grow by 1.2% annually in real terms in the financial years ahead but much of the increase will be taken up by the NHS, defence and schools budgets.
