HC Deb 06 June 1946 vol 423 cc351-2W
7. Sir G. Fox

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will give a list of those police forces that have control motor-cars equipped with wireless, indicating those which have two-way sets and those with only receiving sets; and when all forces will be equipped with two-way wireless control motor-cars.

Mr. Ede

Fifty-three police forces have cars equipped with two-way wireless apparatus, and 30have cars with receiving sets. It would not be in the public interest to publish a list of the police forces that have wireless on their cars. It will probably be some three years before all forces have full two-way wireless schemes.

8. Sir G. Fox

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he has considered representations from the Huntingdonshire chief constable for the cost of patrol motor-cars, equipped with wireless, to be met out of the money received for motor-car licences; and what answer he has returned.

Mr. Ede

I have received no such representations.
