Schedule 1 - The Security Industry Authority
Private Security Industry Bill [Lords]
6:00 pm
Mr Charles Clarke (Minister of State, Home Office; Norwich South, Labour)
Paragraphs 72 and 73 of the explanatory notes state:
``The Security Industry Authority will be self-financing from fees''
as the hon. Gentleman indicated, and it continues:
``Funding estimated at £1m is required to establish the Authority and an additional £1.2m to £1.7 to cover a first year operating deficit. These monies will be recoverable through fees.
There are also likely to be annually recurring and non-recoverable public expenditure costs of between £0.5m and £0.7m for court costs and possible legal aid involved in any prosecution arising from the new offences created.''
I have nothing to add to that at this juncture.
Question put and agreed to.
Schedule 1 agreed to.
