HC Deb 27 January 2003 vol 398 c711W
Mr. Lansley

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what assumptions the Home Office made about the change in police pay and pension costs between 2002–03 and 2003–04 in determining the police grant distribution. [90217]

Mr. Denham

The average increase in Police Grant and Revenue Support Grant and National Non-Domestic Rates income in 2003–04 will be 4.3 per cent. Each police authority will receive an increase of at least 3 per cent.

Within the total sum available, distribution of Police Grant is based, by formula, on predicted relative demands on policing services for each police authority. Formula changes for 2003–04 do not relate to pay or pension costs. The proportion of the formula attributable to projected pensions costs remains at 14.5 per cent.
