Adrian Ramsay MP asks the Department for Justice why there is a £2m by-election for the Norfolk Police and Crime Commissioner when the role will be abolished in 2028.

 

In a written question to the minister, Adrian asked 'To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, if she will take steps to a) remove the requirement for the Norfolk Police and Crime Commissioner post to be filled, b) provide for the necessary functions of that role to be carried out by the County Council Police and Crime Panel prior to the abolition of the Police and Crime Commissioner post in 2028, and c) ensure that the Council Police and Crime Panel have the necessary i) support ii) recourses to undertake these additional tasks.'

 

Adrian added 

"Holding a £2m by-election for the Norfolk Police and Crime Commissioner makes little sense when that role will be abolished in 2028.

I’ve asked the Government to remove the requirement for the role to be filled and to allow the Police and Crime Panel to take over."
