The Earl of Haddingtonasked Her Majesty's Government:
Further to the Written Answer by Lord Williams of Mostyn on 16 March (WA 103), whether they will place in the Library of the House a copy of the accounts of the Association of Chief Police Officers for England, Wales and Northern Ireland and all other related documents submitted to the Government when they considered their contribution of £458,000 in respect of the Association of Chief Police Officers' staff salaries and administration costs for the financial year 1997–98. [HL1211]
§ Lord Williams of MostynI have arranged for a copy of the accounts for 1996–97 for the Association of Chief Police Officers (ACPO) for England, Wales and Northern Ireland to be placed in the Library. The accounts for 1997–98 will be placed in the Library when they are available. The contribution by the Government to ACPO of £458,000 in 1997–98 is managed by the 65WA Home Office, which pays invoices for approved expenditure incurred by ACPO, mostly in relation to the staff costs of the ACPO Secretariat, and consequently is not included in the accounts.
