Police: Grant Report

My honourable friend the Minister of State for Policing, Security and Community Safety for the Home Department (Tony McNulty) has made the following Written Ministerial Statement. I have today placed in the Library a copy of the Police Grant Report (England and Wales) 2007-08 (HC 207). The report sets out my determination for 2007-08 of the aggregate amount of grants that I propose 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 grant allocations, which include Home Office police grant and revenue support grant from the Department for Communities and Local Government and Welsh Assembly Government, for each police authority for 2007-08 are set out in the table.

Notes
1. Rounded to the nearest £100,000. Grant as calculated under the Local Government Finance Report (England) and Local Government Finance (Police) Report (Wales). This includes the Metropolitan Police special payment, and the effects of floors.
2. Figures for the City of London relate to Home Office Grant only as calculated in the Police Grant Report (England and Wales). Revenue Support Grant is allocated to the Common Council of the City of London as a whole in respect of all its functions. The City is grouped with education authorities for the purposes of floors.
3. Welsh figures include Home Office floor funding (£12.9 million). Grant provision under the principal formula for police authorities in Wales is varied to ensure that South Wales Police Authority will receive in principal formula and local authority general grants the same increase as that applicable to police authorities in England. A sum equal to the reduction for South Wales is allocated to Dyfed Powys, Gwent and North Wales Police Authorities.
