Police: Vehicles

Question
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what guidance her Department has provided to police forces on the purchase of cars built in the UK as part of their (a) general fleet and (b) patrol cars; and if she will make a statement.
Answer

[holding answer 7 February 2012]: Advice provided by the Home Office to police forces on the purchase of cars built in the UK as part of their (a) general fleet and (b) patrol cars, reflects EU regulations which prevent organisations from conducting procurement exercises focusing on suppliers based in a single country.
