The Government wants to combine the role of the local police and crime commissioner with the region’s mayor.

The Home Office has lost a bid to appeal against a judge’s ruling that blocked plans to transfer policing powers in the West Midlands.

Lord Justice Dingemans, who heard the case alongside Lady Justice Nicola Davies and Lord Justice Lewis, said the ministers’ challenge “does not have a real prospect of success”. The judge said information should have been included over the proposed positive impact on “economic, social and environmental well-being”, but what featured “falls well short of this mark”.

On Friday, Home Office lawyers argued that the High Court judge took an “incorrect” approach and had an “over-exacting understanding” of what a lawful consultation required. Mr Justice Dingemans said appeal judges were unable to say Mr Justice Swift was “wrong… in setting out the steps for a lawful consultation in the particular circumstances of this case”.

Mr Foster said he had challenged the “11th-hour, last-minute, panic-driven public consultation” because he was “concerned that the transfer of PCC powers to a representative of the government would lead to more cuts, more chaos and more crime”.
