Police Grant Settlement

Mr. Stewart Jackson: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what account has been taken of the impact on crime and policing of the increase in EU migration since 2004 in the Police Grant Settlement for police forces across England and Wales in 2007-08; and if he will make a statement. [111671]

Mr. McNulty [holding answer 26 January 2007]: The Police Grant Settlement 2007-08 is based on the police funding formula which provides an assessment of the relative need of each police force in England and Wales. This assessment is based on the social characteristics of each police authority, including its population, which are considered to affect the level of demand for police services in the community.
