Quentin Davies M.P. has called for Lincolnshire Police Authority to be capped. As he promised in the House of Commons on 27 March he has now written to the Minister for Local Government, John Healey M.P., formally asking him to cap and to designate Lincolnshire.

Quentin Davies today said:

“I have been arguing about this with the Police Authority and with the Chief Constable since last June. I begged them not to go for such a disproportionate increase which will, unless the Government caps the Authority, increase the Council Tax on a Band D property by £100 a year.

Lincolnshire deserves more money from the Government and I will always fight for that. But this is the most crazy way to go about it.
