The Secretary of State, pursuant to section 52P(2)(a) of that Act, designated Warwickshire police authority as regards the financial year beginning in 2010.

The Secretary of State notified the authority in writing pursuant to section 52P(4) of that Act of the decision to designate it, the amount which the Secretary of State proposed should be the maximum for the amount calculated by it as its budget requirement for the year, the target amount for the year (that is the maximum amount which the Secretary of State proposed it could calculate as its budget requirement for the year without the amount calculated being excessive), the information taken into account by the Secretary of State under section 52P(3)(c) of that Act, the financial year as regards which the Secretary of State expected the amount calculated by it as its budget requirement for that year to be equal to or less than the target amount for that year, and the period within which the authority was able to inform the Secretary of State that it challenged or accepted the amount which the Secretary of State proposed should be the maximum for the amount calculated by it as its budget requirement for the year.

Warwickshire police authority informed the Secretary of State by notice in writing under section 52P(8)(a) of that Act that for the reasons stated in the notice it believed the maximum amount stated under section 52P(4)(b) of that Act should be such as was stated in its notice.

The Secretary of State has considered the information supplied by the authority (being information of a kind and provided in a form specified by the Secretary of State for the purposes of section 52Q of the Act) and such other information as the Secretary of State thinks is relevant.

In accordance with section 52Q(6)(a) of that Act a draft of this Order was laid before and approved by resolution of the House of Commons.
