§ Mr. Greg Knightasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department (1) if he will call for reports from chief constables about their guidelines regarding the use of unmarked police vehicles by constabularies in England and Wales;
(2) if he will call for reports from chief constables about how many police forces in England and Wales use unmarked police vehicles for motorway patrol duties; and if he will list the names of such constabularies.
§ Mr. Giles ShawThe use of unmarked police vehicles, whether for motorway patrol or other duties, is an operational matter for individual chief officers of police, in which it would not be appropriate for us to intervene.
