Explanatory Note
(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order revokes the Police Grant (Variation) (Scotland) Order 2009 and varies the Police Grant (Scotland) Order 2008.
The revocation is to correct an error in the Police Grant (Variation) (Scotland) Order 2009.
The variation is to vary the Police Grant (Scotland) Order 2008 for the financial year 2008/09 to state the actual aggregate police grant and the amounts of police grant paid to each police authority and joint police board in respect of that financial year, as redetermined on the basis of audited accounts.
A redetermination of the police grant is carried out because the police grant as stated in the Police Grant (Scotland) Order 2008 was based on estimated budget figures. Upon receipt of audited accounts, the Scottish Ministers have substituted audited figures into the formula used to calculate the police grant and the amount of police grant has been redetermined accordingly.
A report on the considerations taken into account by the Scottish Ministers in making the redetermination has been prepared and laid before the Scottish Parliament in accordance with section 32(6) and (9) of the Police (Scotland) Act 1967.
1967 c. 77; section 32 was substituted by the Crime and Punishment (Scotland) Act 1997 (c. 48), section 45(1) and amended by the Scotland Act 1998 (Consequential Modifications) (No. 2) Order 1999 (S.I. 1999/1820), Schedule 2, paragraph 41(2). The functions of the Secretary of State were transferred to the Scottish Ministers by virtue of section 53 of the Scotland Act 1998 (c. 46).
