Police and Justice Bill

I apologise to the noble Baroness. I should have replied, and I am able to reply now. I regret not having done so straight away. I hope that she will forgive me. We are committed to meeting 100 per cent of the net costs of restructuring; that is, the reasonable costs net of the savings. We are in discussion with forces and police authorities on the costs and savings arising from particular mergers. I should have made that clear.
