95 Minimum budget for [F58Mayor's Office for Policing and Crime].E+W+S

(1)This section applies where the Authority—

(a)has made calculations in relation to a financial year in accordance with sections 85 to 90 above and sections 47 and 48 of the M15Local Government Finance Act 1992, or

(b)has made substitute calculations in relation to a financial year in accordance with sections 85, 86 and 88 to 90 above and Schedule 7 to this Act and sections 47 and 48 of that Act,

but it appears to the Secretary of State that the [F59Mayor's Office for Policing and Crime], in order to restore or maintain an efficient and effective police force for its area, requires a greater component [F60council tax] requirement than that previously calculated under section 85 above.

(2)Where this section applies, the Secretary of State may direct the Authority that there must be a component [F61council tax] requirement for the [F62Mayor's Office for Policing and Crime] for the year which is not less than such amount as may be specified in the direction.

[F63(2A)But the Secretary of State may not give a direction to the Authority under subsection (2) unless the Secretary of State is satisfied that it is necessary to give the direction in order to prevent the safety of people in the metropolitan police district from being put at risk.]

(a)the [F66Mayor's Office for Policing and Crime] alone; or

(5)If the result of the substitute calculations is such that—

(a)there is an increase in the Authority’s consolidated [F67council tax] requirement for the year, or

(b)there is no such increase, but the results of calculations in substitution made in accordance with sections 85, 86 and 88 to 90 above and Schedule 7 to this Act and sections 47 and 48 of the M16Local Government Finance Act 1992 would be different from the last relevant calculations in relation to the year,

(c)in making substitute calculations under section 88(2) or 89(3) above, the Authority fails to comply with subsection (8) below.

(8)In making substitute calculations under section 88(2) or 89(3) above, the Authority must use any amount determined in the previous calculations for item F70... T in section 88(2) above or for F70... item TP2 in section 89(4) above.

Nodiadau Esboniadol

Testun a grëwyd gan yr adran o’r llywodraeth oedd yn gyfrifol am destun y Ddeddf i esbonio beth mae’r Ddeddf yn ceisio ei wneud ac i wneud y Ddeddf yn hygyrch i ddarllenwyr nad oes ganddynt gymhwyster cyfreithiol. Cyflwynwyd Nodiadau Esboniadol ym 1999 ac maent yn cyd-fynd â phob Deddf Gyhoeddus ac eithrio Deddfau Adfeddiannu, Cronfa Gyfunol, Cyllid a Chyfnerthiad.
