HC Deb 24 January 1995 vol 253 c149W
Mr. Hanson

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what assessment he has made of the impact of the 1995–96 police grant allocation on the number of police stations, and their hours of opening in the North Wales police force area.

Mr. Maclean

The draft report "The Police Grant Report (England and Wales) 1995–96" sets out the principles on which proposed allocations of resources have been made for 1995–96. A copy of the report has been placed in the Library.

It is for the police authority and the chief constable to decide what their priorities are and on what they spend their allocation of police grant.
