Police (Wales)

Mr. Alex Carlile: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will make a statement on the levels of revenue and capital settlements for Welsh police forces for 1997-98 and the levels requested by those police forces. [14133]

Mr. Maclean: The settlement for police revenue expenditure means that Welsh police authorities can increase their budgets by 3.8 per cent. in 1997-98. The four Welsh police authorities asked for a 6 per cent. increase in resources in 1997-98.

Provision for major capital building projects in 1997-98 has been maintained at current price levels. In addition, the four Welsh police authorities received a total of £5.119 million for general capital needs against a total bid of £20.29 million.

Mr. Carlile: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will make a statement on the application of additional rule 1 to each Welsh police force for the revenue and capital settlements for (a) 1997-98 and (b) future years. [14137]

Mr. Maclean: We introduced additional rule 1 to ensure that each police authority and the receiver for the Metropolitan police could benefit in 1997-98 from revenue funding which represents an increase of 2 per cent. or more on the equivalent figure for 1996-97. Funding for the purposes of this comparison comprises

police grant, excluding the funding under additional rule 2 for new officers in 1997-98, standard spending assessment, and any SSA reduction grant--damping grant--payable.

The sums received by Welsh forces under this rule will be as follows:

Dyfed Powys	1,176,462

South Wales	2,556,399

No decision has been taken on the future of this rule. We will look at the need for additional rules in the light of circumstances at the time.

This rule does not apply to capital allocations.

Mr. Michael: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will list for each police force area in England and Wales (a) the total police revenue grant from his Department, (b) the total capital grant from his Department, (c) the total revenue grant from the Department of the Environment-Welsh Office, (d) other grants to police authorities from central funds and (e) the total of all capital and revenue grants from central funds for each of the years 1995-96, 1996-97 and 1997-98.
