HC Deb 07 May 1987 vol 115 c511W
30. Mr. Baldry

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department when he next expects to meet the chief constable of the Thames Valley police to consider the budget of the Thames Valley police.

Mr. Douglas Hogg

My right hon. Friend does not expect to meet the chief constable for this purpose. It is the responsibility of the police authority to set the force's budget.
