Proceeding contribution from Annette Brooke (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 4 February 2009. It occurred during Debate on Police Grant Report.
Police Grant Report
Dorset police authority is a high-performing and efficient force, but it predicts that it will have to lose 43 police officers this year, even with the floor, which is very important to it. The authority is especially concerned about how bars are dealt with in the formula. Dorset has a high concentration of licensed premises, with up to 1,000 places, in just two major towns, with the rest of the county being relatively rural. The formula does not really provide enough funding to police those hotspots adequately, because it is based on an area average that does not work satisfactorily in Dorset's case.
