(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order amends the Elected Local Policing Bodies (Specified Information) Order 2011 ("the 2011 Order"), which specifies information which must be published by a police and crime commissioner and the Mayor's Office for Policing and Crime (known as "elected local policing bodies").
Paragraph 1(d) of the Schedule to the 2011 Order requires elected local policing bodies to publish information about the allowances paid to relevant office holders (police and crime commissioners, the Mayor of London in his capacity as the holder of the Mayor's Office for Policing and Crime, and their deputies) in respect of expenses incurred in the exercise of the body's functions. Paragraph 3(g) requires elected local policing bodies to publish information about expenditure by the body exceeding £500.
Where an elected local policing body pays for travel, accommodation or food and drink for its relevant office holders with a value of £500 or less, and does so by purchasing the services directly rather than reimbursing expenses incurred by the relevant office holders, there is no obligation under the 2011 Order to publish information about the expenditure. Article 3 of this Order amends the Schedule to the 2011 Order in order to ensure that information in relation to all such expenditure is published.
Article 4 of this Order further amends the Schedule to the 2011 Order with the effect that the new information as to expenditure on personal travel, accommodation and subsistence is published quarterly, as is the case for information about allowances paid to relevant office holders.
S.I. 2011/3050, as amended by S.I. 2012/2479.
