The Police and Fire Services (Finance) (Scotland) Act 2001 (asp 15) is an act of the Scottish Parliament concerning the finances of police services and fire and rescue services.
Provisions The act allows police services and fire and rescue services to carry over their budget to the next year.
Reception The Association of Chief Police Officers in Scotland and the Chief Fire Officers' Association both criticised the legislation, because it would increase bureaucracy and uncertainty due to a ministerial veto, in their view.
