§ Sir Ivan LawrenceTo ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how he intends to allocate the police grant in 1995–96.
§ Mr. HowardFurther to his reply 1 December, Official Report, columns 844–45: I have today laid before the House the Police Grant Report (England and Wales) 1995–96. The report sets out the amount of police grant to be made available to individual police authorities in 1995–96. It should be read in conjunction with the Local Government Finance Report (England) 1995–96, the Limitation of Council Tax and Precepts (Relevant Notional Amounts) Report (England) 1995–96 and the Special Grant Report (No. 12), which was today laid before the House by my hon. Friend the Secretary of State for the Environment, and, for Welsh police forces, with the information being given to the House this afternoon by my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Wales.
I am placing in the Library and in the Vote Office copies of a table showing by police force area the total effect of these announcements as they relate to police funding in England and Wales.
