Police Grant (England and Wales)

Volume 470: debated on Thursday 24 January 2008

I have today placed in the Library a copy of the Police Grant Report (England and Wales) 2008-09 (HC 265). The report sets out my right hon. Friend, the Home Secretary’s determination for 2008-09 of the aggregate amount of grants that she proposes to pay under section 46(2) of the Police Act 1996, and the amount to be paid to the Greater London Authority for the Metropolitan Police Authority.

General police grant allocations which include Home Office police grant and DCLG revenue support grant for each police authority for 2008-09 are set out in the table.
