HC Deb 23 November 1983 vol 49 c154W
Mr. Michael McNair-Wilson

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether Metropolitan police officers currently on duty outside RAF Greenham common have been issued with tents, overcoats and wellington boots to enable them to fulfil their duties.

Mr. Hurd

Overcoats and other adverse weather clothing are provided to all Metropolitan police officers as standard issue. The Commissioner of Police of the Metropolis informs me that arrangements have been made to provide his officers on duty at RAF Greenham common with wellington boots, but not tents.
