Policing and Crime Bill

It may sound like semantics, but it seems that the Minister has not quite answered the question. There could potentially be a disagreement. Take the police authority that has entered into a collaborative agreement. It has consulted with its chief officer, who has said, "OK, I don’t mind doing that". After two years, though, the police authority says, "This absolutely is not working", or, "It is far too expensive", or, "We think that it’s time that we viewed it again", and the police authority on the other side of the agreement is quite happy about that. However, the chief officer, with whom they consulted originally and whose agreement they had to have, says, "I don’t agree with you. The chief officer on the other side and I think that the agreement is wonderful and is working spectacularly well". Who has the authority to finally decide that the agreement can be ended? This is a disagreement in one particular police authority between that police authority and its chief officer.
