Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether she plans to introduce a national police uniform for town and county forces.
Our police face some of the most challenging situations on a daily basis and it is vital that they have access to the equipment and clothing that they need to keep themselves safe and protect our communities.
Decisions about police uniform and equipment are a matter for Chief Constables and Police and Crime Commissioners and are therefore managed locally by forces.
There are no current plans for the Government to implement a national police uniform.
