History

The PCC role was set to be abolished with effect from 7 May 2024, with its functions transferred to the Mayor of the West Midlands. However, PCC Simon Foster won a High Court judicial review of the decision, with Mr. Justice Swift saying "The home secretary did not, when consulting, provide sufficient information to permit an intelligent and informed response." A government spokesperson said permission to appeal would be sought. Foster said he expected an election would take place in May. The appeal was dismissed and the election was held on 2 May 2024.
