HC Deb 27 July 2000 vol 354 c888W
Mr. Gordon Prentice

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department which police forces are not equipped with CS gas; and if he will make a statement. [132887]

Mr. Charles Clarke

Two forces in England and Wales do not issue CS spray to officers: Northamptonshire and Sussex.

I understand that Nottinghamshire police are currently making arrangements for the use of CS spray by their officers.
