OBSERVATIONS
Home Department
Police Funding (North Yorkshire)
The Humble Petition of Mr G Dadd of North Yorkshire County Council and Black Bull Inn, Thormanby, York, North Yorkshire and others of like disposition,
That they fear the proposed Police Funding Formula review will result in cuts of £10m, £16m, and £19m in years 1, 2, and 3 respectively will mean cuts of 300 Officers or a massive change to local Council Tax
payers. We wish to see our entitlement to fair and equitable funding for North Yorkshire.
Wherefore your Petitioners pray that your Honourable House urges the Government to withdraw the proposed Police Funding Formula review.
And your Petitioners, as in duty bound, will ever pray, &c. —[Presented by Miss Anne McIntosh , Official Report,19 November 2007; Vol. 467, c. 1070 .] [P000056]
Observations from the Secretary of State for the Home Department :
The Government notes the petition of Mr. G Dadd of North Yorkshire county council and others about police funding in North Yorkshire.
However, the Government consider that the petitioners’ concern is misplaced. The provisional police funding settlement for 2008-09 to 2010-11, announced on 6 December 2007 by the Home Secretary, provides for the North Yorkshire formula grant to be increased by 2.5 per cent. in each year.
