HC Deb 09 February 1994 vol 237 cc280-1W
Mr. Llwyd

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales how the Government will determine the share which the new police authorities proposed for Wales in the White Paper on police reforms—Cm 2281—will have of non-domestic rate revenues.

Mr. Gwilym Jones

I am still considering the arrangements for distributing non-domestic rate resources to the new police authorities. I will discuss my proposals with the Home Secretary and the Welsh local authority associations through the forum of the Welsh Consultative Council on Local Government Finance. Currently non-domestic rates are distributed amongst local authorities on the basis of resident population.
