Public Safety Radio Communications Project
Mr. Simon Hughes:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what the total planned cost is of the Public Safety Radio Communications project in each
5 Jul 2000 : Column: 230W
year; what his estimate is of the costs which will have to be met directly by police forces, per force and in total, in each of the next 10 years; what proportion of the total cost is to be met by additional central Government funding; and if he will make a statement. [128535]
Mr. Charles Clarke:
I refer the hon. Member to the replies I gave to the hon. Member for Vale of York (Miss McIntosh) on 26 June 2000, Official Report, column 655, and to the hon. Member for Ryedale (Mr. Greenway) on 17 January 2000, Official Report, columns 301-02W.
The tables show the Public Safety Radio Communications Service (PSRCS) core costs as contained in the PSRCS contract, and the anticipated distribution of estimated menu costs over the 10-year period. Forces will additionally need to purchase control room and radio terminal equipment. Based upon our present understanding of the police service's overall requirement, we estimate the initial purchase and subsequent replacement costs for terminals to be around £300 million in net present cost terms over the whole PSRCS contract life. We cannot at present assign these costs to individual forces.
The future costs of the project will be taken into account during our discussions with the Treasury on spending for the next three years, the results of which are expected to be announced in the summer.
