HC Deb 06 February 1979 vol 962 c106W
Mr. Biggs-Davison

asked the Secretary of State for Industry what police or Government orders for motor cycles have now been placed with the Meriden Co-operative.

Mr. Les Huckfield

The Meriden Co-operative has received orders for 116 motor cycles from police forces in this country and the Ministry of Defence. In addition a limited number of machines have been supplied by the co-operative to various police forces for evaluation purposes. I understand Meriden is hopeful of further orders from police forces in the United Kingdom and the prospects for expansion of its present business with police forces overseas.
