Unarmed British Bobby (EDM1724)

Unarmed British Bobby

EDM number 1724 in 1992-93, proposed by Michael Shersby on 30/03/1993.

That this House notes that honourable Members have witnessed a demonstration of the various types of modern police batons now available; urges the Home Secretary to authorise and encourage the police to conduct trials with the expandable side-handled baton which offers men and women officers the best protection from assault and has unique qualities in restraining assailants whilst avoiding unnecessary injury; and considers that the carrying of this baton would not change the perceptions of the British bobby as an unarmed officer and would have the full support of the public.

This motion has been signed by a total of 81 MPs.
