§ Mr. Chris SmithTo ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what information he has as to the content of training manuals used in police forces in relation to HIV infection, AIDS, hepatitis B, and other similar issues; and whether copies of such manuals can be placed in the Library.
§ Mr. Douglas HoggIndividual police force training manuals are not held centrally.
