Mr. Andy Stewart: To ask the Secretary of State for the
Home Department if he will announce his decisions on police
capital expenditure for 1991-92.

Mr. Kenneth Baker: The provision for police capital
expenditure will rise from ¼173.7 million in the current year
to ¼219 million in 1991-92. This is an increase of more than
25 per cent. Most of the increase will be to improve spending
on vehicles and equipment.

will be allocated to individual police authorities to meet the
costs of major building schemes which are already in progress
or are due to start in 1991-92. Police authorities will also
receive grant on the basis of over ¼1,000 per head of force

and equipment.

their 49 per cent. share of capital expenditure will also be
increased from ¼41 million in 1990-91 to ¼67 million in
1991-92. This is an increase of 63 per cent. and will enable
police authorities to meet more than half of their costs From
loans.

of grant and credit approvals for 1991-92.
