§ Mr. George Cunninghamasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he will consult London Members of Parliament before the Government decide the level of the imperial and national services grant to the Metropolitan police for 1983–84.
§ Mr. MayhewThe imperial and national services grant for 1983–84 has been fixed at £13.1 million which represents 2 per cent. of the estimated net revenue expenditure of the Metropolitan Police for that financial year. The level of the grant for future years is under review and my right hon. Friend will be happy to take account of any views expressed to him on this matter by hon. Members.
