Answer

I am advised by Police that they are not aware of any exemptions being requested, nor any policy changes being made following the Cabinet directive on 13 September 2024 that 'public services should be prioritised on the basis of need, not race’. The Serious Fraud Office does not provide services that require a needs-based assessment and has not been asked for, or provided, any advice to the Minister on this subject, including on exemptions. This is also my response to Written Parliamentary Questions 8164 and 8166 (2026).
