Basic Command Units: The basic command unit fund was introduced in 2003-04 for a two-year period, subsequently extended. I will be continuing this funding at the level of £40 million in 2008-09. I will be providing £50 million a year in 2009-10 and 2010-11. During 2008, we will be consulting with the police and other key delivery partners on how this £50 million fund for years after 2008-09 can best be used, and by which partners, to support successful delivery of the new PSA targets and crime strategy.
Counter-Terrorism
Funding for police counter terrorism will be increased from £472 million in 2007-08 to £524 million in 2008-09, £552 million in 2009-10 and £579 million in 2010-11.
Capital
In 2007-08 we were able to make two in-year capital payments of £25 million each to police authorities. That additional funding has been continued for the CSR years and £220 million in capital and supported capital expenditure will be allocated to police authorities in each of the next three years, with each authority receiving the same allocation as in 2007-08.
Other issues
I will shortly be making further announcements about funding for the Olympics and Protective Services.
