HC Deb 17 February 1994 vol 237 c909W
Mr. Congdon

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what will be the total cost to public funds of the Metropolitan police in 1994–95; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Howard

As police authority for the Metropolitan police district, I have approved estimates which provide for net revenue expenditure of £1,660.724 million in 1994–95. There will be a cash limit on current expenditure of £1,616.511 million. Capital expenditure is subject to separate control.

I have also approved the issue of a precept of £133.55 per property in band D of the council tax valuation band Metropolitan police purposes.

I have discussed the estimates for the Metropolitan police expenditure in 1994–95 with representatives of the London local authority associations.
