Government support for the Police Service of Northern Ireland training college

Backbench debate (separate chamber, no votes)

Alex Easton (Independent MP for North Down) is calling for a Westminster Hall debate on government funding and support for the Police Service of Northern Ireland's training college. The debate will examine whether the UK government is providing adequate resources for PSNI officer training and professional development, a critical issue for policing capacity in Northern Ireland.

The PSNI training college is essential to maintaining police capacity and standards across Northern Ireland. Inadequate government funding could affect recruitment, officer quality, and the service's ability to tackle crime. This matters to all citizens in Northern Ireland who depend on effective policing, and signals broader questions about how Westminster funds devolved services.
