HC Deb 10 March 1970 vol 797 c300W
Mr. Pardoe

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will obtain from the chief constable a report as to what was the total cost of manning and equipping the police force in Cornwall in 1969; and what was the comparable figure for 1964.

Mr. Elystan Morgan

The cost of the Cornwall police force in the year 1964–65 was £876,155 and of the Devon, Exeter and Plymouth forces £2,646,537. The estimated cost of the Devon and Cornwall force in 1969–70 is £5,828,675. It is not possible to give a separate figure of current cost for Cornwall.
