Proceeding contribution from Lord Herbert of South Downs (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 12 September 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill on Police Reform and Social Responsibility Bill.
Police reform and social responsibility Bill
I will come to that immediately. There will be a one-off additional cost for holding the elections in November next year, rather than in May, and the cost will indeed increase: it will increase from 0.1% of police spend to 0.15%, and then it will go back down to 0.1% again. So, this is apparently the full weight of the Opposition's argument: a delay in holding an election will temporarily cost 0.05% of police spend. That is a risible case.
