WELSH POLICE FORCES FUNDING

That this House is deeply concerned that the current system for funding Welsh police forces is leaving them seriously underfunded; calls on the Home Office to reform the central government grant funding system so that all Welsh police forces receive a fair grant based on their respective policing needs; and calls on the Home Secretary, Welsh Secretary and Welsh Assembly Government to ensure that the costs of both the extra duties involved in policing the Welsh capital city, and the large, sparsely populated rural areas of Wales are properly covered.
