Government support for West Midlands Police

Backbench debate (separate chamber, no votes)

Ayoub Khan, the Independent MP for Birmingham Perry Barr, will use a Westminster Hall debate to raise concerns about government support for West Midlands Police. The debate provides an opportunity to scrutinise funding, resources, and policy priorities affecting the force, which serves over 2.8 million people across the region.

West Midlands Police is one of England's largest forces by population served. The debate will illuminate whether the current government believes police funding and central support are adequate to meet crime and public safety challenges in a major urban conurbation—a question that affects millions of residents and shapes public confidence in policing.
