The Police (Grant) (Amendment) Order 1990

In exercise of the powers conferred on me by sections 31 and 60(2) of the Police Act 1964^[1], I hereby, with the approval of the Treasury, make the following Order:

Citation and commencement
    1.    This Order may be cited as the Police (Grant) (Amendment) Order 1990 and shall come into force on 1st April 1990, but shall not affect the payment of grant in respect of any year ending before that date.

Police grant
    2.    Article 1 of the Police (Grant) Order 1966^[2] is amended-
 (a) in the proviso to paragraph (1) by substituting for the words "the percentage mentioned in paragraph (1A)" the words "49 per cent"; and
 (b) by deleting paragraph (1A).

City of London
    3.    Article 3 of the Police (Grant) Order 1966 is revoked.

Metropolitan Police District
    4.    Article 4(1)(aa) of the Police (Grant) Order 1966 is amended by inserting after the words "52 per cent" the words ", and, in the proviso, for "49 per cent" there were substituted "48 per cent"".

This Order further amends the Police (Grant) Order 1966. The percentage of a police authority's share of the Secretary of State's expenditure on common services which is to be deducted from the authority's grant is fixed at 49 per cent (article 2), except in the case of the Metropolitan Police District where the percentage is 48 (article 4). The revocation (by article 3) of article 3 of the 1966 Order brings the City of London's grant up to the same level as those of most other police authorities (51 per cent of net expenditure).
