proportion of police net expenditure in (a) 2003-04, (b) 2004-05 and (c) 2005-06. [109598]
Mr. Bob Ainsworth: Provision for net expenditure and for net pension expenditure is determined by police authorities. Estimates for
future years are not available.
Within the police funding formula a component for police pension costs currently amounts to 14.5 per cent. of the total provision.
Allocation of the provision between police authorities is made on advice from the Government Actuary's Department.

That this House notes that local authorities are currently given the option of whether or not to disregard war widows' and war disablement pension when assessing eligibility for council tax and housing benefit; notes that three-quarters of councils now operate a total disregard; further notes that a pensioner in one of the authorities not operating disregard can lose as much as all of his or her war pension for purely geographical reasons; is appalled that an increase in disability due to old war injuries has led to certain war disabled pensioners facing an overall drop in income; is further concerned that as a result of current policy the Royal British Legion, which has long campaigned for a change in the law, has had to advise some of its members not to apply for or accept a war pension; believes that such war pensions are compensation for injuries sustained or husbands lost in service, and should not be counted as normal taxable income either for local or national taxation purposes; notes that the extra public expenditure needed to standardise treatment of war pensioners would be minimal given that only a few pensioners are actually discriminated against in this way; and calls upon Her Majesty's Government to review this situation so that these war veterans and their widows may finally receive a fair deal.

Mr. Simon Hughes: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will make a statement on his plans for the location of
the pay and pensions branches of the Metropolitan police. [40221]
Mr. Maclean: Between May and August 1996, the Metropolitan police conducted a review of the provision of police and civil staff pay
and pension services. The Metropolitan police policy board will shortly be deciding whether to accept the review report's
recommendations that pay and pension services should be contracted out, subject to the approval of the Secretary of State as police
authority. If contracting out were to take place, the successful contractor or contractors, and the location or locations at which
the work would be carried out, would not be identified until the middle of 1997 at the earliest.
