House of Lords written question – answered at on 20 January 2011.
To ask Her Majesty's Government what they forecast the cost of the police and crime commissioner for Cumbria to be in the first year of operation.
As the Government set out in the impact assessment for the Police Reform and Social Responsibility Bill, we forecast the running and operational costs of police and crime commissioners to be no more than that of current police authorities. Cumbria Police Authority cost £1.1 million in 2009-10 according to their annual report.
