HC Deb 25 October 1982 vol 29 c280W
Mr. Christopher Price

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will now place in the Library the Metropolitan Police instructions to officers.

Mr. Mayhew:

No. The instruction book issued to officers is, like the Metropolitan Police general orders, confidential to the police service because it contains guidance on operational and other matters which it would not be in the public interest to make generally available.
