HC Deb 12 November 1992 vol 213 c878W
Mrs. Chaplin

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many police forces have adopted vehicle marking schemes.

Mr. Jack

[pursuant to his answer, 22 October 1992, column 374]: I wish to advise that vehicle watch schemes —some force-wide, some more local—are now operating in 27 police force areas in England; the four Welsh force areas are covered by the all-Wales vehicle watch scheme. A proprietary scheme called "Match Up" has been introduced in five police force areas in England; two of these forces also operate vehicle watch schemes.
