§ Mr. MichaelTo ask the Secretary of State for the Environment what considerations underlie the policy of providing a list of standard spending assessments for police forces in England but not Wales.
§ Mr. CurryIn England, the total of standard spending assessments is sub-divided among the main blocks of services. There is a separate SSA formula for each block. In Wales, the total of SSAs is not at present divided among blocks of services, but the SSAs for county councils in Wales include provision for the police service.
