HC Deb 14 December 1954 vol 535 c124W
Brigadier Medlicott

asked the Secretary of State for War what arrangements exist for adequate numbers of military police to be available in all military camps and barracks to prevent or quell disorder.

Mr. Head

The Royal Military Police do not operate within unit lines unless specially summoned. Maintenance of order within a unit is a matter for the commanding officer and, where necessary, Regimental Policeman are provided from within the unit.
