Introduction
1. Our short inquiry into police funding has taken
as its starting point the forthcoming funding settlement for the
years of the Comprehensive Spending Review (2008-09 to 2010-11),
with a particular focus on:
- How increased investment in
policing over the past few years has been reflected in police
performance and crime reduction, including numbers of front line
police officers.
- The scale and implications of a possible tighter
funding settlement for the years 2008-11.[1]
2. We received 14 memoranda and took oral evidence
on 22 May 2007 from Mr Tony McNulty MP, Minister of State for
Security, Counter-Terrorism and Police at the Home Office, the
Association of Chief Police Officers (ACPO), the Police Federation,
the Police Superintendents' Association (PSA) and the Association
of Police Authorities (APA).
