Early day motion tabled by primary sponsor Michael Shersby (Conservative), on Tuesday, 30 March 1993, in the House of Commons. It is signed by 81 members in total.
UNARMED BRITISH BOBBY
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.
