HC Deb 03 May 2000 vol 349 c154W
Mr. Gordon Prentice

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department when the Metropolitan police expects to install black box recorders in its police vehicles; and if he will make a statement. [120000]

Mr. Charles Clarke

The Commissioner of the Police of the Metropolis has informed me that the tendering process for the supply of black box recorders for police vehicles is under way and it is hoped that a contract will be awarded shortly. A phased installation programme will then take place.
