HC Deb 20 April 1998 vol 310 cc516-7W
Mr. Todd

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will list the capital allocations to police authorities(a) for 1998–99 and (b) for 1997–98 indicating the percentage change between the two years in ranking order of percentage change. [38540]

Mr. Michael

The information available is in the table. The percentage difference between the two years has been calculated on the minor works capital allocations only. These are allocated by formula. The major capital allocations are made to individual building projects and reflect individual building timetables and are not directly comparable.
