Commentary on Sections Schedule 3: Relationships between NCA and other agencies Part 5: Payment for tasks, assistance or facilities
156.Paragraphs 29 to 31 make provision for the NCA, police fundholding bodies and law enforcement agencies to pay for tasks, assistance or facilities. However, the parties involved may decide that there should be no such charging.
157.Paragraph 32 defines the ‘appropriate amount’ that should be paid as an amount agreed by both parties or, in the absence of such agreement, an amount determined by the Secretary of State. If responsibility for either of the parties is devolved, the Secretary of State must consult with the appropriate devolved administration.
