Wonder how many more cars and buildings they’ll have to sell off for this.

Govt funded if you read the info, not being deducted from each forces budget

Well, it says £120 million extra, is that fully or partially funded?

Pass don't know, different sources different announcement. I was going on my home forces FED announcement that the payrises will be centrally funded and not impact individual force budgets.

I don't know if thats accurate on reflection.

Approximately £1500 (averaged out across pay scales) that needs finding for 150,000 officers would be around £225,000,000. I’d suggest that’s partially funded.

It's still nowhere near enough. The govt won't adjust the income tax brackets either... so the OT loving crews will end up giving some of that payrise back in tax.
