HC Deb 25 November 1994 vol 250 c444W
Mr. Campbell-Savours

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what progress has been made on the new funding formula for Cumbria's police budget; and what will be the change in funding.

Mr. Maclean

The budget for Cumbria police is a matter for the Cumbria police authority.

We have listened very carefully to the many concerns which have been expressed about the version of the new funding formula for the police which was exemplified in September. We have substantially revised the formula.

Funding levels for police forces in 1995–96 will be issued shortly after the Budget statement.
