HC Deb 27 January 1994 vol 236 cc330-1W
Mr. Michael

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will list the standard spending assessment for each police force in England and Wales,(a) for 1994–95, (b) for the current year and (c) for each of the past five years.

Mr. Howard

Standard spending assessments—SSAs—were introduced in 1990. Previously assessments of local authority spending needs were expressed as grant related expenditure assessments—GREs. Police components of GREs or SSAs from 1988–89 to 1993–94, and of the provisional SSAs for 1994–95, for English police authorities are shown in the table.

SSAs for Welsh local authorities are a matter for the Secretary of State for Wales.
