HC Deb 21 November 1974 vol 881 c472W
52. Mr. Graham

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will introduce legislation to regulate the wearing of police-like uniforms by members of security organisations in order to avoid deception of the public.

Dr. Summerskill

This matter is already regulated by Section 52(2) of the Police Act 1964 which makes it an offence for a person other than a constable to wear an article of uniform in circumstances where it gives him an appearance so nearly resembling that of a member of a police force as to be calculated to deceive.
