HC Deb 12 June 1989 vol 154 c327W
Mr. Dobson

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will place in the Library a copy of the code of conduct concerning the use of firearms by police officers of the Metropolitan police.

Mr. Douglas Hurd

The guidelines on the issue and use of firearms, which apply to all police forces in England and Wales, were revised in December 1986 by the Association of Chief Police Officers in conjunction with the Home Office working group on the police use of firearms.

A copy of these guidelines was placed in the Library on 3 February 1987, as part of a summary of the working group's 1986 report.
