HC Deb 22 May 1975 vol 892 c535W
28. Mr. David Steel

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will recommend police forces to purchase motor vehicles made in Great Britain whenever possible.

Mr. Roy Jenkins

I am sending a circular to police authorities saying that, before buying a foreign vehicle, I assume they will wish to survey the market carefully and satisfy themselves that no suitable British vehicle of comparable specification and price is available.
