HC Deb 26 July 1984 vol 64 c773W
Mr. Kaufman

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what information he has as to the basis on which plastic bullets are issued to police officers.

Mr. Hurd

The issue of plastic baton rounds to police officers is a matter for individual chief officers acting in accordance with the guidelines outlined in the reply that I gave to a question from the hon. Member for Islington, North (Mr. Corbyn) on 5 December 1983 at columns7–8.
