Mr. Pawsey

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he has redetermined the expenditure levels for the new joint police and fire and civil defence authorities for the financial year 1986–87.

Mr. Hurd

I am today notifying these authorities of my decisions on redetermination of their expenditure levels which are as follows:

Police £ million
Greater Manchester 83.687
Merseyside 59.808
Northumbria 43.431
South Yorkshire 35.412
West Midlands 30.831
West Yorkshire 63.269

Rampayne street, Pimlico, on leases from the Crown Estates Commissioners. These buildings have been in use by the force since they were completed in 1983 and 1984. There are no plans for additional police accommodation on this site.

Mr. Norman Atkinson

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what recommendations he has now received from Sir Kenneth Newman in regard to training, strategy, tactics and equipment as a result of the Metropolitan police review group's fresh examination of the police response to serious spontaneous public disorder in the light of events since the riots in Brixton and Tottenham.

Mr. Giles Shaw

The review is not yet complete.
