Police reform and social responsibility Bill

I will come to that immediately. There will be a one-off additional cost for holding the elections in November next year, rather than in May, and the cost will indeed increase: it will increase from 0.1% of police spend to 0.15%, and then it will go back down to 0.1% again. So, this is apparently the full weight of the Opposition's argument: a delay in holding an election will temporarily cost 0.05% of police spend. That is a risible case.
