Lincolnshire police authority informed the Secretary of State by notice in writing under section 52E(5)(a) of that Act that, for the reasons stated in the notice, it believed the maximum amount stated under section 52E(2)(d) of that Act should be such as was stated in its notice.

In accordance with section 52F(7)(a) of that Act a draft of this Order was laid before and approved by resolution of the House of Commons.
