Members' Allowances

Section 107 of the Criminal Justice and Police Act 2001 deregulates the payment of Members’ allowances – but not expenses – to police authorities. It also makes provision for police authorities to make payments to the Lay/Independent Members’ on their Standards Committee.

 

Humberside Police Authority's scheme is based on the principles of the guidance issued by the APA’s Independent Panel and the scheme originally introduced on 1 December 2001.

 

Members agreed the current Scheme at the AGM on 19 June 2007. Click here to view the report that was submitted to this meeting.
