§ 16. Mr. ANSTRUTHER-GRAYasked the Home Secretary what steps are being taken to make police traffic patrol cars more readily recognisable by the public?
§ Sir J. GILMOURIn the Metropolitan Police, saloon cars used by the patrols have been fitted with "Police" signs which are ordinarily displayed in front and at the rear of the vehicles; in open cars the officers' uniforms are easily seen, and I do not think any further provision is necessary.
§ Mr. PIKEIs my right hon. Friend not aware that in the majority of cases these cars travel so fast that the "Police" signs are not observable to the ordinary public?
