§ Mr. Hilary BennTo ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many police officers in each force area are currently being employed using funding through the(a) single regeneration budget and (b) discretionary local authority funds. [121712]
§ Mr. Charles ClarkeInformation on the number of police officers employed using Single Regeneration Budget funding is not available centrally.
It is also not possible to determine how many officers are recruited using discretionary local authority funds. Force budgets are treated as a whole and distinctions are not made between those officers financed by local authority and central grant funds.
