HC Deb 16 July 1985 vol 83 c72W
Mr. Dubs

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many fire resistant overalls the Metropolitan police possess; and how many have identity numbers attached.

Mr. Giles Shaw

I understand from the Commissioner of Police of the Metropolis that his force has about 6,500 pairs of fire resistant overalls and that instructions have been issued that officers must display identity numerals when wearing overalls on duty.
