Lord Wigley:To ask His Majesty's Government whether they will publish the salary ranges for each recognised rank within the police service in (1) 2019–20, and (2) 2025–26. \p Lord Hanson of Flint: The police officer pay scales for the police pay year 2019/20 were not separately published under the previous Government. However, the pay scales for that year recommended by the Police Remuneration Review Body (PRRB), which were accepted and implemented at that time, can be found at appendix D on page 73 of its fifth report and are set out in the tables below.

For the police pay year 2025-26, the Government has received the Police Remuneration Review Body and Senior Salaries Review Body’s recommendations. We are considering these recommendations very carefully and will announce a decision in due course.
