HC Deb 26 October 1998 vol 318 c54W
Mr. Sanders

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will list those measures which reflect the additional costs from seasonal influxes of population contained within constabulary grant settlements; and if he will make a statement. [55701]

Mr. Michael

Police grant is allocated by means of a formula which predicts police authorities' relative need to spend. The formula takes account of both the resident and daytime population in a force's area as appropriate. Daytime population includes estimates of both overnight visitors and day visitors.
