Proceeding contribution from Mark Simmonds (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 9 July 2008. It occurred during Legislative debate on Council Tax.


Council Tax

I think that my hon. Friend is coming to the crux of his remarks. He is absolutely right that there was a special one-off grant of £3.4 million last year to the Lincolnshire police authority, but is he aware that when the Government calculated the increase this year, they did not take into account that £3.4 million as the base figure, thereby making the authority's increased funding actually a decrease in the amount that it received last year?
