HC Deb 20 November 1984 vol 68 c108W
Mrs. Rumbold

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if the Metropolitan police will take steps to ensure that police cars in the pursuit of car thieves do not thereby endanger the lives of other people.

Mr. Giles Shaw

The Commissioner of Police of the Metropolis tells me that both the Metropolitan Police regulations covering the conduct of drivers of police cars and the force's driver training programmes stress the need for police drivers to exercise extreme caution, particularly in the pursuit of suspects.
