[7273]

Mr. Maclean

For allocations to each police authority in 1995–96, and proposed allocations for 1996–97, I refer to the reply given by my right hon. and learned Friend on 30 November, columns891–92 to my hon. Friend the Member for Croydon, North-East (Mr. Congdon). Details of allocations of Home Office specific grant paid in 1995–96 are set out in the "Police Grant Report (England and Wales) 1995–96". Details of proposed allocations for 1996–97 are set out in the draft "Police Grant Report (England and Wales) 1996–97". Copies of both are in the Library.
