Regulation 8 Issuing preceptI1C1C2
England and Wales
In a case other than one to which regulation 4(2) or 6(3) applies, the end of the scrutiny process is reached when the police and crime commissioner gives the panel the response mentioned in regulation 7(b).
The police and crime commissioner may then—
issue the revised precept as the precept for the financial year; or
issue a different precept, but this is subject to paragraph (3).
In relation to the panel’s report under paragraph 3(2) of Schedule 5—
where regulation 5(3)(a) applied, the police and crime commissioner shall not issue a precept which is higher than the revised precept; and
where regulation 5(3)(b) applied, the police and crime commissioner shall not issue a precept which is lower than the revised precept,
unless it would be in accordance with a recommendation made by the panel in the second report to do so.
