HC Deb 24 March 1994 vol 240 cc351-2W
Mr. Cryer

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will ensure that Gloucestershire police have all the necessary resources to pursue inquiries relating to the identification of the nine bodies so far recovered in Gloucester, and the unearthing of any further bodies and the bringing to justice of the persons responsible.

Mr. Charles Wardle

Police grant, at the rate of 51 per cent. of final expenditure, will be paid on the costs of the investigation. It is open to Gloucestershire Police Authority to apply for a special payment of grant over and above this, if it considered that the financial burden would threaten the efficiency of the force.
