HC Deb 21 December 1983 vol 51 cc235-6W
Mr. Hunter

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he has given any guidance to chief constables as to the functions and duties of police patrols (a) on motorways and (b) on other main highways.

Mr. Hurd

Guidance has been given to the police from time to time, covering a range of specific road traffic matters which are relevant to the work of traffic patrols, whether on motorways or on other roads; for example a recent circular gave guidance on the respective roles of police and the fire service at road traffic accidents.
