HC Deb 22 February 1984 vol 54 c527W
Mr. Corbyn

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many CS rounds have been purchased or ordered for use by police forces, and how many for the Metropolitan police.

Mr. Hurd

Records of CS rounds purchased or ordered for use in criminal sieges are not kept centrally. Approximately 1,200 CS rounds have been purchased or ordered by forces in England and Wales for public order use. It would not be sensible to give details of the distribution of this equipment.
