Proceeding contribution from Viscount Hailsham (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 4 February 2008. It occurred during Debate on Police Grant.


Police Grant

The phrase ““funding gap”” is wonderfully bland. Perhaps my hon. Friend would care to remind the House that police authorities are under a statutory duty to produce a balanced budget. They cannot operate on deficits; they must so adjust the provision of resources as to bring about a balanced budget.
