HC Deb 16 January 2001 vol 361 c208W
Mr. Heald

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what payments are available to police authorities in respect of extra costs incurred during the fuel crisis in 2000; and how much money has been spent in respect of each police force. [145786]

Mr. Charles Clarke

Payments will be made to police authorities in respect of the additional operational costs incurred by forces in responding to the fuel embargo protests in September and November 2000.

Forces have been asked to submit their final claims for the additional costs incurred during the fuel dispute by the end of January to allow for assessment and payment in the current financial year.
