How much does it cost to run 23 helicopters for a year?
I am minded to amend the capital allocations for police authorities in order to support the establishment of the National Police Air Service. I will consider carefully any representations on this matter before taking my decision in time for the final settlement debate in February 2012. This change would mean that the proportion of police capital that goes to the NPAS would be increased to £10.8m in 2012/13 – £6m more than I suggested this time last year. These proposed figures are set out in table 2.

2012/13 £11m
2013/14 £13m
2014/15 £10m
I notice that £50m has been allocated for the elections of the new Police and Crime Commissioners
