APPENDIXTHE NORTH WALES POLICE AMALGAMATION (AMENDMENT) SCHEME 1988

1

This Scheme may be cited as the North Wales Police Amalgamation (Amendment) Scheme 1988 and shall come into force on 1st April 1988.

2

For paragraph 1(2) of Schedule 2 to the North Wales Police Amalgamation Scheme 1973 there shall be substituted the following sub-paragraph—

2
Each constituent council shall make interim payments into the combined police fund on account of their contribution payable under sub-paragraph (1) of this paragraph in respect of that year at such intervals as may be determined by the combined police authority and the constituent councils. The total of the interim payments for each half-year shall amount to one-half of the amount of the contribution as estimated by the combined police authority:
Provided that—
a
the combined police authority may from time to time revise the said estimate, and the interim payments payable during that year after the constituent councils have been notified of the revision shall be so increased or reduced as to adjust the difference; and
b
in the event of the combined police authority making arrangements with a constituent council under paragraph 6 of this Scheme for the making of payments on behalf of the combined police authority by that council the interim payments to be made by that council under this sub-paragraph shall be such as may be agreed between the combined police authority and that council taking into account payments made by that council on behalf of the combined police authority, so however that such interim payments shall be sufficient at all times to enable all financial obligations of the police authority to be met.

3

In paragraph 1(3) of that Schedule the word “monthly” shall be omitted.

(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order contains the Secretary of State’s approval to a Scheme, submitted to him under the Police Act 1964, amending the North Wales Police Amalgamation Scheme 1973 with effect from 1st April 1988.

It provides that interim payments into the combined police fund by constituent councils shall be payable at intervals to be determined by the combined police authority and those councils, rather than monthly.
