HC Deb 13 December 1985 vol 88 c792W
Mr. Cohen

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether the Metropolitan Police have available for use any soft-nosed bullets, or bullets specifically designed to break up when passing within or through the target.

Mr. Giles Shaw

The round available to the metropolitan police is a semi-jacketed soft-nosed round which has been tested extensively and is not designed to break up on contact with human tissue.
